DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus 1 Introduction Thank you for choosing the D-Link DFE-530TX - the value leader among Fast Ethernet adapters for the PCI-Bus. This introduction gives a general description of the newer networking technologies found on the DFE-530TX. ACPI Power Management The DFE-530TX adapter complies with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface 1.0 (ACPI) specifications.
While powered-down computers Sleep, WOL enabled NICs monitor LAN traffic for valid Wake-up frames. When one is received, the NIC will immediately wake-up and send a signal to the motherboard to power ON the computer. Some uses for the WOL feature include: • • • • • Forgot a document and out of town? Send a Wake-up signal to your computer and retrieve the needed file. Initiate long routines and reports before you get to work. Transfer files when the network traffic is low (during late hours).
DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus Features Designed for versatility and performance, the DFE-530TX Adapter provides the following features: • 32-bit PCI Bus Master memory access for high throughput. • PCI clock speed up to 33Mhz, independent of network clock. • Comply with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface specification v1.0 • ACPI 1.1 power management compliant. • Wake-On-LAN power-saving feature allows sleeping PCs to be woken up and used via remote stations.
DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus 2 Installation Installation of a DFE-530TX Ethernet Adapter requires hardware installation first, then software installation. Unpack and Inspect CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DFE-530TX card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit.
Install the Adapter 1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover. 2. If your order does not include the Boot ROM option, go ahead to Step 3. If your order includes the Boot ROM option, then install the Boot ROM Chip by plugging the chip into the Boot ROM Socket on the DFE-530TX card. The notched end of the Boot ROM Chip must be aligned with the notched end of the Boot ROM Socket (opposite alignment will cause destruction of the Boot ROM Chip). 3.
DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number. Connecting the WOL Cable The WOL Cable is an interconnect cable with standard 3-pin connectors on each end. Please follow the procedures listed below to ensure proper installation of the WOL cable. 1.
force a connection or alter the components to fit. Doing so could permanently damage your computer. Connecting the Network Cable Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both, the Fast Ethernet and Ethernet, cabling rules. The maximum length of any single cable run between any station and its supporting hub is 100 meters. The maximum length of a cable joining two hubs is 10m in general, but is 100m when both hubs qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet hubs do qualify).
DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus Connecting for 10-Mbps Ethernet Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well as EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm STP cable, all qualify under Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum cable run between the DFE-530TX and the supporting hub is 100 meters. The cable must be straight (not a crossover cable) with RJ-45 connector at each end.
DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus A Troubleshooting If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and that the supporting hub is functioning properly. 1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector. 2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables. 3. Ascertain that the adapter• PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level.
7. If the card doesn’t “wake up” when it should, the reason might be that your computer’s BIOS is not fully ACPI-compliant. Your first step should be to contact your computer dealer or motherboard maker to see if you need to upgrade your computer’s BIOS. Contact the D-Link’s technical support if you are sure you have the latest ACPI-compliant BIOS and the problem persists.
