User Guides

===========



Several user guides for Intel Network Connections are available for this 

product. You may access them in the following ways:

- Double-click "index.htm" located in the root of the Intel download.

- On Windows-based systems, start the autorun program on the download,

  then click "View User Guides."

- Go to http://support.intel.com.





Intel Fiber Optic Connections

=============================



Caution: The fiber optic ports may utilize Class 1 or Class 1M laser devices. 

Do not stare into the end of a fiber optic connector connected to a "live" 

system. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. Using optical 

instruments increases eye hazard. Laser radiation is hazardous and may cause 

eye injury. To inspect a connector, receptacle or adapter end, be sure that the 

fiber optic device or system is turned off, or the fiber cable is disconnected 

from the "live" system.



The Intel Gigabit and 10GbE network adapters with fiber optic connections 

operate only at their native speed and only at full-duplex. Therefore you do 

not need to make any adjustments. Use of controls or adjustments or performance 

of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous 

radiation exposure. The laser module contains no serviceable parts.
