DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus Introduction Thank you for choosing D-Link DFE-530TX, the value leader among Fast Ethernet adapters for PCI Bus personal computers. This Introduction chapter will be useful if you are new to Fast Ethernet and other new technology featured by the DFE-530TX. -
Page 10: About Auto-Negotiation
Full duplex 100Base-TX operation allows simultaneous transmission and reception, both at 100Mbps, thus providing service potentially equal to 200Mbps half- duplex service. The DFE-530TX Adapter does not support the 100Base-T4 subtype. To provide compatibility in traditional 10Mbps... - Page 11 DFE-530TX and its supporting hub proceeds automatically. If the hub has auto-negotiation function- ality, then it and the DFE-530TX exchange a series of messages in which each device signals its capabilities and listens for corresponding information about the other. The auto-negotiation process requires only a few milliseconds, and the two devices select the best communication parameters supported by both devices.

Page 12: About Pci Bus
Your DFE-530TX Adapter delivers outstanding performance by fully exploiting the advanced features of your computer • PCI bus. DFE-530TX Adapters utilize the Bus Master Mode of the PCI bus, allowing direct transfers of Ethernet packet content between computer memory and the adapter • controller, thus minimizing network demand on the CPU. - Page 13 DFE-530TX Operates in a PCI Bus Master slot of a Pentium/486 computer, independent of CPU speed. PCI Bus Master memory access, for high throughput and low CPU demand. 32-bit Intelligent Ethernet controller. Complies with IEEE 802.3 100Base-TX and 10Base-T Ethernet standards.

Page 15: Installation
DFE-530TX Installation of a DFE-530TX Ethernet Adapter requires hardware installation first, then software installation. Unpack and Inspect Under ordinary circumstances, a DFE-530TX card CAUTION : will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit. - Page 16 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).

10m in general, but is 100m when both hubs qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters ( all D-Link Ethernet hubs do qualify). However, these cable runs may need to be shorter than the given individual maximum lengths, because their lengths are globally restricted by the rule that the maximum aggregated cable run between any two stations is 205m. -

DFE-530TX 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. - Page 20 DFE-530TX Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus The DFE-530TX Adapter features three LED indicators to assist in the resolving of network diagnostics: 10Mbps/100Mbps SPEED Indicator This LED shows steady green (on) when 100Mbps speed is selected. It is dark (off) when 10Mbps is negotiated.
