Section 2 - Installation Hardware Installation 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. Note: Write down the serial number and hardware revision (e.g. B1) before installing the adapter. If you contact technical support, you will need this information. 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. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis. Replace the case and plug in the power cable. 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 CAT5 cabling systems and, by default, the CAT5 cabling systems currently being installed. It provides optimal full-duplex 1000Mb/s Ethernet service over Category 5e links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-T. Category 5 and 5e link lengths are limited to 100 meters. D-Link DGE-530T User Manual
