Changes to Allied Telesis Fiber Network Adapter Cards  
Preface  
Allied Telesis is committed to the environment, and as such, is continually attempting  
to reduce our carbon footprint and product packaging, and help reduce recycling  
waste. Towards this effort, we are making a number of changes to the way we  
package the Fiber Network Adapter Cards.  
Packaging  
Current, Allied Telesis has two package sizes, being a retail single pack, and a bulk 20  
pack. These will continue to be sold until existing inventory is exhausted. All new  
manufacturing will only be in a new “multi single-pack” package.  
The new packaging consists of an oversize recycled cardboard box, containing 20  
new single packs.  
The new single packs will each will contain a single Network Interface Card, and  
where appropriate, an alternative mounting bracket. We have removed the manual,  
1
Driver CD, and Wake-on-LAN cable from the packaging.  
Changes to the Card  
Many of our Fiber Network Adapter Cards can be installed using either a full height,  
or half height bracket. Cards have historically shipped with the full height bracket  
attached to the card, and the half height bracket being loose in the box. Feedback  
from customers has determined that the majority of the market are now installing  
the cards in low profile computers. We are therefore changing the manufacture of  
our cards, to have the half height bracket fitted as standards, and the full height  
bracket being included in the box.  
Ordering  
In future, all new cards must be ordered from Allied Telesis in multiples of 20, as this  
is the size of the oversize box. Distributors and Resellers can then ship either the  
oversize box (20 cards), or the individual new single pack to their customers.  
1. Wake-on-LAN cable is used to provide Wake-on-LAN functionality to PCI 2.1 compatible motherboards. PCI 2.2 compatible  
motherboards do not use this cable.
