Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-530T card will not be affected by a static charge that may be received through
your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances, the user may carry an extraordinarily high static charge and
it is good practice to reduce 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 DGE-530T Gigabit Desktop PCI Adapter
• Standard and low profile brackets
• DGE-530T Drivers and Manual on CD-ROM
• Quick Installation Guide
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Hardware Installation
1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.
Important: Opening the case of your computer may compromise the warranty of your computer. Consult the
computer manufacturer before opening the case to ensure that you adhere to warranty guidelines. In some cases,
you may need to have the DGE-530T installed by your computer manufacturer.
2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-530T card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the
card firmly into the connector such that the card's contacts are fully seated in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer's chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer's power cord, and switch the computer 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 DGE-530T adapter.
