D-Link DGE-560T User Manual 1
Thank you for choosing the D-Link DGE-560T Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Adapter, the value leader among Fast Ethernet/Gigabit
Ethernet adapters. This chapter provides a general description of D-Link DGE-560T features, with a summary of features at the end of the
chapter. Installation instructions are provided in the following chapters.
With the D-Link DGE-560T, your PC can be connected to an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network. The PC must be
equipped with a PCI Express x1 expansion slot; alternatively the D-Link DGE-560T can be installed in a PCI Express x4, x8 or x16
expansion slot.
The D-Link DGE-560T automatically detects the parameters of its Ethernet environment, and automatically negotiates and determines its
own speed and duplex settings as required for maximum performance within the environment. (The auto-negotiation function is effective
only when the D-Link DGE-560T is connected to the network by a device (switch or hub) that also has auto-negotiation functionality.)
Inside its compact form, the D-Link DGE-560T holds an Ethernet controller, network processing interface, and a direct port for connecting
an RJ-45 network cable. The D-Link DGE-560T requires no pre-installation setup—simply insert it into the PCI Express slot (for detailed
information, please refer to the Installation Guide).
The D-Link DGE-560T is supplied with an RJ-45 receptacle, which receives the network cable. The direct port features full LED display
for linkage and activity states, speed, and transmitting and receiving data.

Hardware Installation
1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the chassis cover. If you are installing a network adapter in a tower computer, we recommend to put the computer
on its side in order to be able to apply the correct force to insert the adapter into the PCI Express slot.
3. Locate an empty PCI Express slot on the motherboard.
4. Insert the network adapter into the PCI Express slot and push it down vertically into the slot until it is firmly seated.
5. Install the bracket screw to secure the network adapter to the computer chassis.
6. Replace the computer chassis cover. Reconnect the power and switch the 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 adapter. Skip to page 16 to verify your installation.
