To protect yourself from injuries and avoid damage of the device, always observe the following

safety instructions when installing the network adapter. Avoiding injuries Electrical current! Electrical current from power, phone, and communications cables can be hazardous. Never touch any electrical elements with bare hands. To avoid potential shock hazards: • Do not carry out any installation, maintenance, or (re)configuration work during a thunderstorm. • Do not connect or disconnect any power cables during a thunderstorm. • For installation into systems which are supporting Hot-Plug and will be not disconnected from electrical power system read the relevant documentation first. • Do not connect the network adapter to a telephone line. Electrical installations must comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are operated. Avoiding damage Electrostatic discharge! Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy the Network adapter. To avoid damaging the S2Konnect N-3010AVB Network adapter observe the following: • Switch off the computer. • Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. • Remove the computer cover. • Before installing the network adapter, put on an antistatic wrist strap (electrically conduc- tive). • Connect the wrist strap to the computer chassis Do not connect the wrist straps to the ground terminal of the power supply! Faulty wiring could make this terminal live and potentially lethal. • When you are ready to install the network adapter, open the antistatic bag. • Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter against the bracket of an expansion slot on your computer for at least two seconds. This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body. If you need to place the network adapter somewehre after removing it from the antistatic bag, make sure you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface. Do not place the network adapter on the computer cover or on any other metal surface. • Cautiously insert the adapter into the corresponding slot. Do not touch any circuits on the network adapter or any of its port contacts. In general, observe the following: • Never use force when working with the network adapter or the PCI Express bus. • Do not allow anyone else to touch the network adapter. • Avoid unnecessary movement since this can increase electrostatic charge.  ! i

Operating System Support

The drivers for the S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, PCI Express sup­port the following operating systems: • Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 7 Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Server 2008 and Windows Vista on 32- bit sys­tems • Linux kernel 2.4.13 and higher stable versions • Novell NetWare 5.x and Novell Netware 6.x • Novell Netware Client32 and Novell NetWare VLM Client for DOS1 • Sun Solaris 10 on 32-bit systems (x86) and 64-bit systems (x64) • FreeBSD 6.0 on Intel x86 systems The latest version of all available network drivers can be downloaded from the Marvell web site (see section “Driver download“). High Performance The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, are high perfor­mance and highly re- liable adapters. They use the new PCI Express technology that offers in­creased bandwidth and extended capabilities over the conventional PCI bus. TCP, UDP and IP Checksum Calculation The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapters support the calculation of TCP, UDP, and IP checksums. These calculations are integrated in the hardware of the Gigabit Ethernet adap- ters. The checksums are calculated without time loss by the MAC controller for both receive and transmit path. This improves the overall performance of the system and shifts these CPU-intensive tasks away from the host CPU. Jumbo Frames The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapter, supports 9014 Byte Jumbo frames. They are tested according to the prevailing standard and switches on the mar­ket. TCP Segmentation (Large Send Off-Load) TCP Segmentation that is handled by the S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapter, reduces CPU load significantly. This provides high throughput for superior network performance and im­proves application response. Dynamic Interrupt Moderation If the network is running at Gigabit speed and small packets are being transferred, there may in extreme cases be more than 100,000 interrupts per second. To reduce the load on the CPU, the Gigabit Ethernet adapters can use Interrupt Moderation to group these interrupts so that several data packets can be handled per interrupt. For more information, refer to the White Paper “SK-NET GE Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapt­er”, which can be found on the “SysKonnect” web site. (*1) S2Konnect offers for these drivers no support

Promiscuous Mode / Multicast Support

The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, supports Promiscu­ous Mode for ana- lyzers. Promiscuous mode means that ail traffic received by the adapter is passed to the CPU and not only packets addressed to it. By default, the promiscuous mode is turned off. ln addition, the adapters supports multicast (frames can be sent to more than one destination) for special applica- tions, which use multicast addresses. Alert Standard Format (ASF) The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters fully support integrated ASF 2.0 (Alert Standard For­mat) functionality that enables monitoring and remote controlling of client systems that are in “Shut down“ or “OS absent“ states. Possible usage scenarios for ASF are: • system’s health monitoring (e.g., voltage and temperature alerts) • asset management (e.g., Chassis intrusion alerts) • remote management and control (e.g., power down and system reset) PXE / RPL Support The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapter, supports both the standard PXE 2.1 (Pre-Boot eXecution Environment) and the protocol RPL (Remote Program Load). This allows networked computers that are not yet loaded with an operating system to be configured and boo- ted remotely by an administrator. PXE and RPL grant the advantage that client machines do not necessarily need an operating system or a hard disk and that they can be rebooted remotely in the event of hardware or software failures. Boot Agent ROM The Boot Agent ROM for S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapter, comprises the boot protocols PXE and RPL, allowing the user to choose between both proto­cols during every boot. ln addition, it includes a setup program where the user can define sev­eral default boot options.

Advanced Power Management / Wake on LAN

The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, support power man­agement as defined in the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification V1.1 and Net­work Device Class Power Management Reference Specification V2.0. The power management features are implemented according to the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification V2.0. The S2Konnect N-3010AVB Adapters utilize an auxiliary power supply to keep some parts run- ning. This setting enables the network device to “Wake on LAN“. The Wake on LAN functionality uses three mechanisms to create a wake-up event: • pattern match Incoming packets are compared to up to seven patterns stored in a pattern matching table. A match causes a wake-up event. • Magic Packet™ The incoming data stream is searched for a so-called magic packet frame that consists of 6 bytes of OxFF followed by 16 iterations of the adapter’s MAC address, If this sequence is found, a wake-up event is created. • link change Any change of the link status from “link down” to “link up” will cause a wake-up event. Wake on LAN is supported by Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Win- dows Server 2003, and Windows Vista/Windows 7. For information on other operating systems sup­porting Wake on LAN, check the appropriate readme(s) on the Marvell web site. Reliability The S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T adapter, PCI Express come with a variety of re- liability features, They aim at maintaining a connection as long as possible. This is reached by redundant or grouped links (link aggregation). The driver functions help to monitor the health of adapters and their ports enabling pro-active network management. The reliability features are described in the following sections. Link Aggregation Link aggregation or Trunking is a method of combining physical network links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth. With link aggregation, it is possible to increase the capac­ity and avai- lability of the communications channel between devices (both switches and end stations) using existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet technology. Two or more Gigabit Ethernet connections are combined into a team in order to increase the bandwidth capability and to create resilient and redundant links. A set of multiple parallel physical links between two devices is grouped together to form a single logical link. Link aggregation offers an effi­cient and low-cost solution to increase bandwidth between server and switch. Another advan­tage it provides is that if a connection fails completely, the remaining links can take over the traffic and thus replace the broken line. Link aggregation also provides load balancing where the processing and communications activity is distributed across several links so that no single link is overwhelmed. By taking multiple LAN connections and treating them as a unified, aggregated link, practical bene- fits can be achieved in many applications. Link aggregation provides the following important benefits: • higher link availability • increased link capacity • improvements are obtained using existing hardware (no upgrading to higher-capacity link technology is necessary)

Demanding applications running in high-performance environments like servers in enterpris­es,

web servers, and intra net servers gain particularly from the high-bandwidth and duplex capabilities of link aggregation. All S2Konnect Gigabit Ethernet Adapters support link aggregation according to the IEEE standard 802.3ad. At the moment, Marvell provides a link aggregation driver for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista, Windows 7. The drivers for Linux are able to sup- port link aggregation according to the IEEE standard 802.3ad by install­ing third party open source modules. For details, refer to the corresponding readme file. In the future, link aggregation support according to IEEE 802.3ad will be implemented in S2Kon­nect drivers for other operating systems as well. For driver updates, refer to Marvell web site: http://www.marvell.com. For more information on link aggregation, refer to the White Paper “Link Aggregation according to IEEE 802.3ad”, which can be found on SysKonnect web site. Hot-Plug As a member of the PCI Special Interest Group, Marvell has a long experience in the stan­dardization of the insertion and removal of PCI computer cards during normal operation. The S2Konnect N- 3010AVB Adapters provide native Hot-Plug Support according to the PCI Express 1.0a and Ad- vanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification Revision V2.0. Hot-Plug enables the re- placement of failed devices in a running system. The following conditions have to be met in order for Hot-Plug to work on S2Konnect Gigabit Ether- net Adapters: • The target system has PCI Express Hot-Plug slots, i.e., the power can be switched on and off under the control of the operating system. • The adapter is installed in one of the PCI Express Hot-Plug slots. • The operating system supports PCI Express Hot-Plug on the target system. The drivers for the following operating systems support PCI Express Hot-Plug: • Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista, Windows 7. • NetWare 4.20 and higher. • Solaris 7 and higher.

The integrity of data that pass from the network through the system and back to the network is

monitored by generating and checking parity information on all available data paths. All data errors are detected immediately and can be reported. User Diagnostics (DOS and Windows) The user diagnostics programs (available for DOS and Windows) provide users, system adminis- trators, and engineers with profound tools to analyze the network adapter and check adapter-spe- cific data. Marvell Network Control (Windows) Marvell offers a utility program for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, Win- dows 7. The “Marvell Network Control“ is part of the “Marvell Network Driver Installation Pac- kage“ available for Windows 2000 XP/Server 2003/2008. With the “Marvell Network Control“, all S2Konnect adapters can be controlled and configured. This tool displays the current configuration and status of the S2Konnect N-3010AVB Adapters. Predominantly, the “Marvell Network Control“ helps to perform the following tasks: • configuration of the adapters and their corresponding ports • monitoring of the status of the adapters installed • establishment of VLANs • building of teams (enabling of link aggregation according to IEEE 802.3ad) • enabling of RLMT for dual port adapters • monitoring of the voltage and temperature sensors The “Marvell Network Control“ is started from the Control Panel window: START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONTROL. The various tabs contain trees showing the currently installed adapters and their configuration: • The “Adapter“ tab displays the network adapters available in your system with their corres- ponding ports. It shows the ports which have been configured as VLANs, for RLMT, and those which have been aggregated Into a team. This tab only serves as an overview. For configuration, select one of the other tabs. • The “Virtual LAN“ tab lists all configured virtual LANs along with the corresponding ports and the ports which may be bound by VLANs. In this tab, the user can add, remove, and configure VLANs and set VLAN specific parameters. • The “Team” tab shows all links or ports which may be aggregated in a team or have already been aggregated to form a team. In this tab, the user can add, remove, rename, and configure teams. • The “RLMT” tab offers the possibility to configure dual port adapters for Redundant Link Ma- nagement Technology (RLMT). RLMT monitors the status of both ports. If the link of the active port fails, RLMT automatically switches to the standby link, and the connection is maintained. In this tab, the user can add and remove RLMT to/from the ports and set RLMT specific para- meters. • The “Protocol” tab shows all entities (port, VLAN, RLMT, Team) and the protocols which have been bound to these entities. • The “Power Management” tab shows the current power management settings of all installed adapters. • The “Statistics” tab lists statistic values, e.g., Transmit Packet OK (XMIT OK). • The “Sensors” tab shows the values of the voltage and temperature sensors (if available). • The “Specifications” tab lists fixed values during operating time, such as Hardware Revision, Software version, Max. Frame Size. • The “Support” tab provides information on how to reach the Marvell Technical Support.

When a component in the tree is selected, the corresponding parameters are displayed.

For more information on the „Marvell Network Control“, refer to the online help available for this program (click the HELP button when the program is running). Virtual LAN (VLAN) Support A virtual LAN is a group of network devices that belong to the same network segment, regardless of the physical network structure. A logical network structure based on business requirements is pos- sible. With virtual networks, physical location no longer specifies the network a user is assigned to: user clients with similar networking requirements can be united in one network group or VLAN. This VLAN can be established to meet a wide variety of organizational or technical needs. All members of a department can, for example, be gathered into a network group, even if they are distributed over several buildings. Colleagues working on the same project can be united in a common VLAN, even if they belong to different departments in, different buildings or even different locations. Other network groups can be made invisible to these users. Using virtual LANs can improve network performance, limit broadcast storms, minimize security problems, and ease the management task. By means of Frame Tagging, the S2Konnect N-3010AVB 10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, can sup- port up to 64 IP address assignments in a single network connection. Thus, multiple VLANs can be configured for one port. Stations can be accessed from systems in multiple IP subnets without tra- versing routers. Additionally, multiple application VLANs can be defined to isolate traffic for perfor- mance and security purposes. For this reason, the server can be physically connected to a single switch port but still belong to several VLANs. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter can receive tagged packets and is able to tag outgoing packets. The switch the adapter is connected to must support VLAN tagging according to IEEE 802.1q. For several operating systems, Marvell offers drivers that support VLAN tagging and thus can be applied for VLAN servers and terminal units. For more information on virtual LANs, refer to the White Paper “Virtual Networks”, which can be found SysKonnect web site in the Download Center. Also see the corresponding readme files for the respective drivers. Figure 4. Adapter overview in “Marvell Network Control”

If the problem persists, you can analyze the status of the network adapter with the aid of the LEDs

and the diagnostics programs. 7 Problem Another expansion card fails to work after the network adapter has been installed The computer does not detect the network adapter The computer adapter fails during a normal operation Loopback test is successful but link LED does not light (no connection) LED for transmitting/ receiving data pack- ets (ACT) is not iIIu- minated Make sure all cables are connected to the correct expansion cards. Make sure the expansion cards are correctly inserted. Check if any internal connections in the computer have been disengaged or have been damaged during the installation of the network adapter. Check for resource conflicts in the computer. Check PCI Express configuration and resource allocation. Make sure the adapter is properly seated in the computer. Try installing the adapter in a different PCI Express slot. Load or install the driver again. Check the connections and try another switch port if necessary. Is the switch port configured correctly? Is the network driver loaded? Is the maximum transmission distance exceeded (see section “Transmission Distances”)? Make sure the network driver is loaded. Is there any network overload? Is the switch port configured correctly? Is the maximum transmission distance exceeded (see page 10)? If you have any other S2Konnect adapter installed, compare your setup with this adapter.
