How to install Arcserve 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

• Power down the system and unplug it from power. Ensure you follow proper anti-static precautions before handling hardware.
• Open the chassis and locate an appropriate PCIe slot that matches the card’s interface and the server’s expansion slot configuration.
• Remove the slot cover, align the Arcserve 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with the PCIe slot, and firmly seat it into place.
• Secure the card with the bracket screw to ensure stability and proper grounding within the chassis.
• Reconnect the system power and boot the server. The operating system should detect the new network device automatically.
• Install or update the latest Arcserve-provided drivers and management utilities from the official source or your vendor repository.
• Configure the network interfaces as needed: assign IPs, configure VLANs, enable QoS as required, and set up link aggregation if you intend to use multiple ports for higher throughput or redundancy.
• Test connectivity by performing a basic throughput test and validating stability during typical workloads such as backups, VM migrations, or file transfers.
