Introduction

The D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Desktop PCI Adapter is a 10/100/1000 Mbps copper Gigabit PCI card for servers and workstations.
Current systems running at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps can be upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating network bottlenecks
and increasing performance.
Cost-Effective, Scalable Migration
As an inexpensive alternative solution to fiber-optic, this card allows you to instantly upgrade to Gigabit without requiring you
to install new fiber cables. Gigabit Ethernet uses your existing CAT-5 cabling to provide you with 10/100/1000 Mbps network
speeds.
Advanced Features and Security
The DGE-530T supports SNMP for remote troubleshooting and management, ACPI for lower power consumption, and WoL
for remote wake-on-LAN. These features help to lower total cost of ownership while adding convenience and versatility. 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 for optimized performance. The DGE-530T 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 it easier to troubleshoot
your network.
