D-Link DGE-550SX Quick Installation Guide 3

Introduction

The D-Link DGE-550SX is a high-bandwidth network adapter, providing up

to 2000Mbps full-duplex bandwidth capacity to support high-end servers.

This adapter delivers added performance to the network while working

with the existing LAN infrastructure. In addition, with advanced functions

like VLAN ﬁltering and hardware-based Chip-Level IP (CLIP) packet

processing, the adapter provides added performance, ﬂexible conﬁguration

and secure networking to users in a standards-based environment. Inside

its compact form, the DGE-550SX network adapter holds a Gigabit Ethernet

controller and a standard-based PCI/PCI-X interface with a ﬁber SC duplex

connector. Its front panel includes LEDs to indicate linkage and activity

states.

The DGE-550SX network adapter can be installed in (short) 32-bit or long

(64-bit) PCI/PCI-X slots at 33MHz, 100MHz, or 133MHz.Best performance,

however, is reached with a 64-bit/133MHz bus.

No pre-installation is required to setup the DGE-550SX network adapter,

simply insert it into the PCI/PCI-X slot. For more detailed information

about the network adapter and technical speciﬁcations, please refer to

the manual located on the Autorun CD.

D-Link DGE-550SX Quick Installation Guide4

Step 1 - Driver Installation

Turn on your computer and insert the D-Link DGE-550SX Autorun CD in

the CD-ROM drive.

Note: Do not install the adapter until you install the drivers.

If the Autorun CD 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).

When the autorun screen appears, click Install Drivers.

Drivers for non-Windows®operating systems are located on the D-Link

CD, and can be accessed via the View Other Drivers button.

Please see the section “Alternate Driver Installation” in the manual for a

detailed description on installing drivers for a speciﬁc operating system.

Step 3 - Connecting the Network Cable

1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet enables operation over 50.0mm or 62.5mm

multimode ﬁber-optic cabling systems. With 62.5mm multimode ﬁber-optic

cabling link lengths are limited to 275 m (max distance), 50.0mm multimode

ﬁber-optic cabling allows for link lengths of 550 m (max distance).

Step 2 - Hardware Installation

A. Shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.

B. 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/PCI-X slot.

C. Locate an empty PCI or PCI-X slot on the motherboard.

Note: This adapter can be installed in (short) 32-bit or (long) 64-bit

PCI/PCI-X slots at 33 MHz, 66 MHz, 100 MHz, or 133 MHz. Best

performance, however, is reached with a 64-bit/133 MHz bus.

D. Insert the network adapter into the PCI/PCI-X slot and push it down

vertically into the slot until it is ﬁrmly seated.

E. Install the bracket screw to secure the network adapter to the computer

chassis.

F. Replace the computer chassis cover.

G. 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 DGE-550SX Network Adapter.

Additional Information

If you are encountering problems setting up your network adapter, please

refer to the manual located on the Autorun CD.
