D-Link DGE-560T Quick Installation Guide 3

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the D-Link DGE-560T Gigabit PCI Express
Ethernet Adapter, the value leader among Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet
adapters.

With the D-Link DGE-560T, your PC can be connected to an Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network. The PC must be equipped
with a PCI Express x1 expansion slot; alternatively the D-Link DGE-560T
can be installed in a PCI Express x4, x8 or x16 expansion slot.

The D-Link DGE-560T automatically detects the parameters of its
Ethernet environment, and automatically negotiates and determines its
own speed and duplex settings as required for maximum performance
within the environment. (The auto-negotiation function is effective only
when the D-Link DGE-560T is connected to the network by a device
(switch or hub) that also has auto-negotiation functionality.)

Inside its compact form, the D-Link DGE-560T holds an Ethernet controller,
network processing interface, and a direct port for connecting an RJ-45
network cable. The D-Link DGE-560T requires no pre-installation setup—
simply insert it into the PCI Express slot (for detailed information, please
refer to the Installation Guide).

The D-Link DGE-560T is supplied with an RJ-45 receptacle, which
receives the network cable. The direct port features full LED display for
linkage and activity states, speed, and transmitting and receiving data.
