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.

Installation

Follow the instructions in this section to install the adapter.

Unpack and Inspect

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

Software Installation

To install the driver, insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of the system with the installed adapter. Click

the Install link and follow the instructions that appear to install the driver.

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.

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.

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.

D-Link Network Control Program

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.

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 launch the D-Link Network Control program, double-click the D-Link Network Control icon in the Control

Panel folder.

NOTE: D-Link Network Control Program can be installed and used on Windows 2000,
