Click on the 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet) product category.




	NOTE: Installing the adapter requires proficiency in both hardware configuration and software administration.




	NOTE: These instructions apply to the A7011A (1000Base-SX--fiber-based) and A7012A (1000Base-T--copper-based) PCI-X gigabit Ethernet cards on OpenVMS V8.2 and higher. The Base-T cards operate at 10 or 100 Mbit/s in either full- or half-duplex modes and at 1000 Mbit/s only in full-duplex mode. The 1000Base-SX cards operate only at 1000 Mbit/s and in full-duplex mode. Ensure that you set both your switch and gigabit Ethernet card to autonegotiation or set both to the same speed and duplex mode. The LAN card driver is included in the OpenVMS V8.2 (or later) installation.
