Important Information
Please read the information below before installing the D-Link Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-SX(LC) PCI-
Express X4 Adapter on your system.
What's New
The latest generation PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus architecture called PCI Express, uses a 2.5-
GHz serial Input/Output structure for higher bandwidth and better scalability than its previous architectures. The
DGE-560SX 1000BASE-SX (LC) PCI-Express x4 supports up to 2 Gbps total bidirectional throughput. The
faster serial-bus architecture provides bidirectional dedicated Input/Output with 2.5-GHz clocking, compared to
133-MHz parallel bus of the previous generation PCI-Expanded (PCI-X).
