USER’S GUIDE
N-FXE-xxx-01, 100Base-FX Fiber
Adaptor NIC Cards
•PCI-Express x1 Interface
•Available with SC, ST, LC multimode and
single mode fiber connections
•Wake-on-LAN (WoL)
•Supports 802.1q VLAN tagging
100Base-FX Fiber Adapter NIC is a Fast Ethernet NIC that fully complies with all IEEE
802.3u and 100Base-FX standards. Two LED indicators (LINK/ACT and FDX) on the
bracket will help to oversee board link activities and full-duplex status.
Fast Ethernet PCI-E 100Base-FX Fiber adapters support Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE), Remote Program Load (RPL), and Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Multi-Boot
Agent (MBA) is a software module that allows your networked system to boot with the
images provided by remote systems across the network.

case the user will be required to correct the interference at the user's own expense.
Canadian regulations
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out
on the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables
aux appareils numériques de la Class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
European regulations
Caution: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Achtung! Dieses ist ein Gerät der Funkstörgrenzwertklasse A. In Wohnbereichen können bei
Betrieb dieses Gerätes Rundfunkstörungen auftreten. In diesem Fäll ist der Benutzer für
Gegenmaßnahmen verantwortlich.
