Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DGE-530T is ideal for the small oce or home oce environment. After completing the steps in this manual, you
will have the ability to share information and resources - such as les and printers - and take full advantage of a “connected”
environment for work and play!
The DGE-530T comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network. However,
this manual is designed to help you network two computers running Windows® 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista®, Windows® 2008,
and Windows® 7 in a peer-to-peer conguration. The standards compliant DGE-530T gives you the exibility to expand and
customize your Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet network at will.
The Fast Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and devices at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Gigabit Ethernet allows
speeds up to 1000 Mbps. A Dual-Speed 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet network combines both standards allowing
computers and devices of dierent speeds to communicate with each other. The DGE-530T is a Dual-Speed 100/1000 Mbps
Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet network card.
Cost-Eective, Scalable Migration
As an inexpensive alternative solution to ber-optic, the card allows you to instantly upgrade to Gigabit without requiring you to
install new, expensive ber cables. Gigabit Ethernet uses your existing CAT5 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 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 trac control and security. It also
supports 802.1p Priority Tagging to allow you to prioritize trac. The card also features embedded ow 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
Note: Install the drivers before installing the adapter into your computer.
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.
Step 1 - When the autorun screen appears, click Install (this will launch the Network Utility program and install the drivers).
An Installation Wizard will guide you through the process, no matter which operating you are running. Your DGE-530T will be
installed successfully in just a few moments, allowing you to enjoy the many advantages of joining an Ethernet LAN.

Section 2 - Installation
Hardware Installation
1. 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. C1) before installing the adapter. If you contact technical
support, you will need this information.
2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-530T card into the connector of any available
PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card rmly into the connector such that
the card’s contacts are fully seated in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable to your adapter and the other end to your network.
6. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch the computer on. If the BIOS
section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-and-Play compliant, then at
power-up, the BIOS will automatically congure any newly installed DGE-530T
adapter.
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 conict 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-conicting Interrupt Number.

Verify Connectivity
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (i.e router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please see the following steps below:
Windows® 2000/2003/XP: Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
Windows® 7/Vista®: Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some rewall software
programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
