Specifiche tecniche

Risoluzione dei problemi

No Network Connection After Installation

• Verify Hardware Installation: Ensure the network card is fully seated in the PCIe slot and securely fastened.
• Verifica il cavo di connessione: Confirm the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the network card and your router/switch.
• Installazione del driver: Make sure the correct drivers for your operating system have been installed. Refer to the "Driver Installation" section.
• Gestione dispositivi (Windows): Check Device Manager to see if the network card is recognized and if there are any error symbols (e.g., yellow exclamation mark). Reinstall drivers if necessary.
• Impostazioni BIOS/UEFI: Ensure the PCIe slot is enabled in your system's BIOS/UEFI settings.

Slow Network Speeds

• Qualità del cavo: Use a high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 Ethernet cable for 10Gbps connections. Lower category cables may limit speed.
• Compatibilità router/switch: Ensure your network router or switch supports 10Gbps speeds on the connected port.
• Aggiornamenti driver: Check for the latest drivers from the VIMIN website or the provided USB drive.
• Risorse di sistema: High CPU usage or insufficient RAM on your computer can affect network performance.

Card Not Detected in Windows 11

• Larghezza di banda dello slot PCIe: Some motherboards share bandwidth between PCIe slots and M.2 NVMe slots. If the card is not detected, try moving it to a different PCIe slot or temporarily removing other M.2 devices to check for conflicts.
• Manual Driver Update: If the card appears in Device Manager but has issues, try manually updating the driver by searching for the Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver pack and pointing Device Manager to the extracted driver files.
