Introduction
Thank you for choosing the D-Link DXE-810T, the leader in value among 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters for
PCI Express bus personal computers. T he D-Link DXE-810T PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is a
high-performance adapter des igned for the high-speed PCI Express Bus Architecture. The PCI Express 10
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter offers increased bandwidth, reliability, and more functionality than standard PCI
network cards. It is specifically designed to allow throughput at rates up to 20 Gbps, eliminating the
bottleneck that exists with current 32 and 64-bit PCI bus architectures.

Installation
Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the DXE-810T card will not be affected by static discharge caused by
contact with a person’s body while handling the unit. In special circumstances, the user may carry an
extraordinarily high static charge so it is good practice to disperse the charge by touching a ground
before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. Ensure that the following items are included:
One DXE-810T PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card
DXE-810T drivers and manual on a CD-ROM
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for a replacement.
Software Installati on f or Linux
1. Make clean
2. Sudo make
3. Sudo make install
4. Reboot the system
Software Installation for VMware ESXi 5.x, 6.0
1. Copy the VIB file (net-tn40xx-0.3.6.12.1.x86_64.vib) to the VMware server:
2. On the VMware server shell type:
esxcli software acceptance set --level CommunitySupported
esxcli software vib install -v /net-tn40xx-0.3.6.12.1.x86_64.vib
3. Reboot the VMware server
Software Installati on
You must first install the driver software for your DXE-810T before installing the PCI Express card into your
