Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-SX(LC) PCI-Express X4 Adapter

Important Information

Please read the information below before installing the D-Link Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-SX(LC) PCI-

Express X4 Adapter on your system.

What’s New

The latest generation PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus architecture called PCI Express, uses a 2.5-

GHz serial Input/Output structure for higher bandwidth and better scalability than its previous architectures. The

DGE-560SX 1000BASE-SX (LC) PCI-Express x4 supports up to 2 Gbps total bidirectional throughput. The

faster serial-bus architecture provides bidirectional dedicated Input/Output with 2.5-GHz clocking, compared to

133-MHz parallel bus of the previous generation PCI-Expanded (PCI-X).

System Hardware Requirements

Before installing the DGE-560SX, check to be sure your system meets the following minimum requirements:

• Available PCI-Express (x4 or higher) card slot

• 64 MB of System Memory

• 150 MHz or faster processor

• The most recent BIOS version for your system

• In addition to these system requirements, the optical network interface requires a 850nm LC Fiber

Optical connector

Hardware Driver Compatability

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you download the latest hardware drivers for all your

particular adapters from the manufacturer's web site.

It is recommended that you install the latest Service Packs and/or Hot Fixes from Microsoft prior to installing D-

Link PCI-Express Card Software. Refer to the Release Notes for the latest list of Service Packs and/or Hot Fixes

that are required.

Operating Systems Supported:

• Microsoft Windows 2000, 2000 server

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Server 2003 x64 Edition

• Microsoft Windows XP

• Microsoft Windows XP x64 Edition

• Linux for Kernel 2.4.x, 2.6.x

Installation

Follow the instructions in this section to install the adapter.

Unpack and Inspect

Caution: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-560SX card will not be affected

by static charge. In some circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily

high static charge, 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. Make sure you have the following items:

• One DGE-560SX 1000BASE-SX(LC) PCI-E x4 Adapter Card

• CD-ROM containing system drivers, and Quick Installation Guide

Installing the Adapter

1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.

2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-560SX card into the connector of an available PCI-Express (x4 or

higher) Bus expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are fully

seated in the PCI 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-560SX adapter.

Connecting the Network Cable

The DGE-560SX 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet network adapter card enables operation over 850nm 62.5/125

fiber optic cable up to 75 meters and 850nm 50/125 fiber optic cable up to 550 meters. The network adapter card

connects to fiber optic cabling equipped with an LC Fiber Optical connector.

Software Installation

To install the driver or the D-Link Network Control Program, insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of the

system with the installed adapter.

The D-Link Network Control Program is included with the DGE-560SX. This program is used to monitor the

adapter and create VLAN information including VLAN Identifier and name for the system in which it is

installed.

To install the D-Link Network Control Program, insert the CD-ROM in the system CD-ROM drive and click the

Install link. Follow the instructions that appear to install the program.

Manual, and support for 802.1p priority. To enable or disable 802.1p support on the adapter, go to the

Properties menu (right-click on Local Area Connection icon in Network Connections) and click the

Configure button:

Click the Advanced tab in the men that appears:

Use the Advanced configuration menus to configure 802.1p, select 802.1p Support from the Property list and
