Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

This card is a 5-Speed Multi-Gigabit network adapter that runs on a

high speed PCIe x4 host but interface.

This card hosts the Tehuti’s new 3rd generation TN4010 controller, and

optimized 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC designed for low-power, low-cost,

single-port connectivity required by Application Servers and

Workstations. The TN4010 MAC is paired with the AQRate® AQR105

transceiver, a low-power, high-performance NBASE-T PHY.

This card supports auto-negotiation allowing the NBASE-T solution to

optimally select the best speed: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 5 Gigabit

Ethernet (5GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE), 1 Gigabit Ethernet

(GbE) or 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE) over Cat5e/Cat6 or better

cabling.

Chapter 2: Getting Started

2.1 Hardware Layout

Link/Activity Indicator:

When the LED is off, there is no link between the 5-Speed

NBASE-T Network Controller Card and the network

When the LED is on, a link is established, but there is no traffic

on the network

Page 7

When the LED is flashing, there is traffic on the network to

which the 5-Speed NBASE-T Network Controller Card is

connected

Link Speed Indicator:

When the LED is lit orange, a 10GBase-T link is established

When the LED is lit green, a 5GBase-T/2.5GBase-T/1000Base-T

link is established

When the LED is off, a 100Base-T link is established

2.2 Hardware Installation

1. Turn off the power to your computer.

2. Unplug the power cord and remove your computer’s cover.

3. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCIe slot.
