Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DGE-530T is a 10/100/1000Mbps copper Gigabit PCI card for servers and workstations. Current systems
running at 10Mbps and 100Mbps can be upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating network bottlenecks, and increasing
productivity.Integrate Gigabit now and you can save time, money, and downtime because the DGE-530T will automatically
detect and run at higher speeds when it becomes available.
Cost-Effective, Scalable Migration
As an inexpensive alternative solution to fiber-optic, the card allows you to instantly upgrade to Gigabit without requiring
you to install new, expensive fiber cables. Gigabit Ethernet uses your existing CAT-5 cabling while providing you with
10/100/1000Mbps network speed auto-sensing and full/half duplex auto-negotiation.
Advanced Features and Security
The DGE-530T supports SNMP for remote troubleshooting and management, ACPI for lower power consumption, and
WoL for remote wake. This helps to lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The card also features on-board screening
of VLAN Tagged Ethernet frames, allowing you to assign multiple subnets to each server and isolate devices within
each VLAN from the rest of the network for better traffic control and security. It also supports 802.1p Priority Tagging to
allow you to prioritize traffic. The card also features embedded flow control and independent FIFO, providing a means
to protect against possible data loss during transmission on the network. With the Cable Diagnostic feature, the card
will automatically detect whether you have a bad cable, making your troubleshooting task easier.

Installation
Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-530T card will not be affected by a static charge that may be received
through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances, the user may carry an extraordinarily high static
charge and 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. Ensure that the following items are included:
• One DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card
• DGE-530T Drivers and Manual on CD-ROM
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Turn on your computer and Insert the D-Link DGE-530T Driver CD in the CD-ROM drive.The step-by-step instructions
that follow are shown in Windows®XP. The steps and screens are similar for the other Windows operating systems.
If the CD Autorun function does not automatically start on your computer,
go to Start > Run. In the run command box type “D:\autorun.exe”
(where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).
Drivers for non-Windows operating systems are located on the D-Link
CD.
When the autorun screen appears, click Install Drivers.

Hardware Installation
Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.
Important: Opening the case of your computer may compromise the warranty of your computer. Consult the computer
manufacturer before opening the case to ensure that you adhere to warranty guidelines. In some cases, you may need
to have the DGE-530T installed by your computer manufacturer.
Note: Write down the serial number and hardware revision (e.g. B1) before installing the adapter. If you contact
technical support, you will need this information.
Insert the contact edge of the DGE-530T 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. Install the bracket
screw that secures the card to the computer chassis. Replace the case and plug in the power cable.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-and-Play BIOS programs, occasionally a newly installed adapter is assigned an
Interrupt Number which has already been assigned to another device. In such a case, the conflict of the Interrupt Number
will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Therefore, the user must 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 CAT5 cabling systems
and, by default, the CAT5 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.
