DGE-510T 10/100/1000 PCI Adapter
Introduction 1
1
Introduction
Thank you for choosing D-Link DGE-510T, the value
leader among dual-speed adapters for PCI Bus personal
computers. This introduction gives a general description
of the newer networking technologies found on the
DGE-510T.
The DGE-510T provides the bandwidth capability to
support high-end servers and workstations. With Auto-
negotiation, this card can run on three different speeds:
10/100Mbps, both half- and full-duplex, and 1000Mbps
at full duplex. When running at 1000Mbps, it provides a
network throughput of 2Gbps in full-duplex mode.
The card supports IEEE 802.1p Traffic Prioritization for
time-sensitive and mission-critical traffic. With IEEE
802.1Q single VLAN support, it provides VLAN tables
that can filter packets by recognized VLAN tags, strip
VLAN tags when received, and insert VLAN tags when
transmitted. VLANs can increase the efficiency of and
provide extra security for your network.
The DGE-510T provides IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
Enhancements, which are needed for a network adapter
to function with a switch. In full-duplex mode, MAC
implements the PAUSE control function. This means
when a switch is connected in full-duplex mode and it
senses that its buffer will overflow in the near future,

DGE-510T 10/100/1000 PCI Adapter
2 Introduction
the switch will transmit one standard Ethernet packet
that causes the DGE-510T to pause for a period, thus
avoiding internal buffer overflow and packet loss.
The NIC enables simple, scalable network migration,
providing the benefit of Gigabit Ethernet networking
with the familiarity of Ethernet.
Features
Designed for versatility and performance, the DGE-510T
Adapter provides the following:
• Operability in 32-bit, 33/66 MHz slot servers
• Universal Bus support, 3.3V and 5V
• IPV.4 checksum task off-loading for checksum
generation and verification
• Compliance with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gigabit
Ethernet standards, IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet
standards, and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards
• Plug-and-Play installation
• Support for 802.1Q VLAN Capacity
• Jumbo frame support (NDIS and Linux drivers)
• Adaptive Inter Frame Spacing (IFS) capacity
• Auto-assignment of IRQ numbers and IO address
• Full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet interface that delivers
2Gbps aggregate bandwidth

Installation
Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-510T card
will not be affected by static charge as may be
received through your body during handling of the
unit. In special circumstances where you may
carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it is
good practice to reduce the charge by touching a
ground before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all
items. In addition to a printed copy of this User's Guide,
ascertain that you have:
• One DGE-510T 10/100/1000 PCI Adapter Card.
• DGE-510T User’s Guide CD-ROM
Installing the Adapter
1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord,
and remove the chassis cover.
2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-510T card into
the connector of any available PCI Bus Master
expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the
connector such that the card’s contacts are fully
seated in the connector.

6 Installation
3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the
computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch
computer power on. If the BIOS section of your
computer’s boot program is Plug-and-Play
compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will
automatically configure any newly installed DGE-
510T adapter.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-and-Play BIOS programs, it
happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is
assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned
to another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt
Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices.
Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and
manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number.
Connecting the Network Cable
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet enables operation over
the extensive installed base of legacy Category 5 cabling
systems and, by default, the Category 5 cabling systems
currently being installed.
It provides optimal full-duplex 1000Mb/s Ethernet
service over Category 5e links as defined by
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T
are the same as those used for 100BASE-T. Category 5
and 5e link lengths are limited to 100 meters.

Software Installation
The CD-ROM included with your DGE-510T is designed
to make installation of necessary software a painless
and trouble-free process. Simply click on the “Install
Drivers” button, and an Installation Wizard will guide
you through the process, no matter which operating
system you’re running. The included Adobe Acrobat
Reader, which is needed to read or print out your user
manual, will also come in handy for many other
applications.
Simply follow the directions in the Wizard, and your
DGE-510T will be installed successfully in just a few
minutes, allowing you to enjoy the many advantages of
joining an Ethernet LAN.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first:
ascertain that the appropriate driver is loaded; that the
proper grade of cable is employed for the network
connection; and that the supporting hub is properly
qualified for the application.
The DGE-510T Adapter features four LED indicators:
• FDX Steady green indicates the adapter is operating
in full-duplex mode.
• 1000M The LED indicator lights green when a 1000
Mbps device is connected to the adapter.
• 100M The LED indicator lights green when a 100
Mbps device is connected to the adapter.
• Link/Activity Steady green indicates good linkage
between the DGE-510T and its supporting server or
switch. Flashing green indicates activity
(transmitting or receiving) within the adapter.
