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.

indicator remains off when the port is connected to a
10Mbps Ethernet Network.

Hardware Installation
1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the chassis cover. If you are installing a network adapter in
a tower computer, we recommend to put the computer on its side in
order to be able to apply the correct force to insert the adapter into
the PCI Express slot.
3. Locate an empty PCI Express slot on the motherboard.
4. Insert the network adapter into the PCI Express slot and push it down
vertically into the slot until it is firmly seated.
5. Install the bracket screw to secure the network adapter to the
computer chassis.

Additional Information
If you are encountering problems setting up your network adapter, please
refer to the manual located on the Autorun CD.
6. Replace the computer chassis cover. Reconnect the power and switch
the 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 adapter. Refer to page 16
in the manual for instructions to verify your installation.
