Product Overview
Package Contents
Before installing the DGE-530T, check your system for the following minimum conguration requirements:
• An open PCI bus master slot, 32-bit, operating at 33MHz
• 512MB of RAM (1GB or more recommended)
• Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.0GHz (or equivalent) or faster
• The latest BIOS for your computer
• One of the following types of twisted-pair network cabling:
• 4 – pair Category 5 or better for 1000Mbps
• Category 5 or better for 100Mbps
• Category 3, 5 or better for 10Mbps
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-530T card will not be aected 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. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DGE-530T is ideal for the small oce or home oce 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 conguration. 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 dierent speeds to communicate with each other. The DGE-530T is a Dual-Speed 100/1000 Mbps
Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet network card.
Cost-Eective, 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 trac control and security. It also
supports 802.1p Priority Tagging to allow you to prioritize trac. 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.
