Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product described below (“Hardware”) will be free from
material defects in workmanship and materials under normal use from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period
set forth below (“Warranty Period”), except as otherwise stated herein.

• Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): Two (2) Years

• Power supplies and fans: One (1) Year

The customer's sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D­Link’s option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the
actual purchase price paid. Any repair or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The
replacement hardware need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective
Hardware or any part thereof with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior)
in all material respects to the defective Hardware. Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original
Warranty Period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer, and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material defect is
incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid
by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All
Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link
upon replacement or refund.

Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s
then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail

on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty
Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. The customer's sole and exclusive
remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non­conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software
or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in
writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license
granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is
subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its

DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the D-Link DGE-530T, the value leader among Gigabit adapters for PCI
Bus personal computers. This introduction gives a general description of the newer networking
technologies found on the DGE-530T.

The DGE-530T provides the bandwidth capability to support high-end servers and workstations.
With Auto-negotiation, this card can run on three different speeds: 10Mbps at half and full
duplex, 100Mbps at half and full duplex, and 1000Mbps at full duplex. When running at
1000Mbps, it provides a network throughput of 2Gbps in full-duplex mode.

The DGE-530T provides IEEE 802.3x Flow Control Enhancements, which are needed for a
network adapter to function with a switch. In full-duplex mode , the MAC implements the PAUSE
control function. This means when a switch is connected in full-duplex mode and it senses that
its buffer will overflow in the near future, the switch will transmit one standard Ethernet packet
that causes the DGE-530T to pause for a period, thus avoiding internal buffer overflow and
packet loss.

The NIC enables simple, scalable network migration, providing the benefits of Gigabit Ethernet
networking with the familiarity of Ethernet.

System Requirements

Before installing the DGE-530T, check your system for the following minimum configuration
requirements.

 One of the following slot types:

• An open PCI bus master slot, 32-bit, operating at 33MHz.

 32 MB of System Memory
 150 MHz processor, or faster
 The latest BIOS for your computer
 One of the following types of twisted-pair network cabling:

• 4 – pair Category 5 or better for 1000Mbps

• Category 5 or better for 100Mbps

• Category 3, 5 or better for 10Mbps

Features

Designed for versatility and performance, the DGE-530T Network Adapter provides the following:

• Operability in 32-bit, 33 MHz slot servers and workstations

• Universal Bus support 3.3V

• Compliance with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet standards, IEEE 802.3u Fast

Ethernet standards.

• Plug-and-Play installation

• Supports Wake-on-LAN
