DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card

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
•
One Quick Installation Guide
•
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Installing the Adapter

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.)
2. 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.
3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer's chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer's power cord, and switch 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 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 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 Category 5
cabling systems and, by default, the Category 5 cabling systems currently being installed.
