10/100Mbps PCI Card

DFE-530TX

DFE-530TX Fast Ethernet adapter is equipped with an auto-negotiate

10/100Mbps NWay interface. It plugs into a desktop PC's PCI expansion
bus slot to run in 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX mode, half or full duplex.

10/100Mbps PCI Card for PC

D-Link's DFE-530TX Fast Ethernet adapter is a high-performance auto-sensing 10/100Mbps dual-speed adapter for the PCI
bus. Installable in a Pentium or Pentium Pro PC equipped with PCI expansion slots, this adapter turns a desktop into a high-
bandwidth graphic/multimedia workstation or a power server running at full-duplex speed.

Powerful Performance Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Interface

The adapter operates in the 32-bit Bus Master mode, delivering The adapter's single connector connects to either 10BASE-T
throughputs at multi-megabits per second with little stress on the Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet completely without any
host's CPU. Supporting PCI clock speeds independently of the need to set configuration. It detects the connected hub's or switch's
network clock, it transfers data directly to/from the host's memory, capability and auto-negotiates to use the highest available speed.
by-passing the CPU to alleviate the host's workload.
Full Duplex Support
Easy Migration Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected in both 10BASE-T and
The adapter allows users to migrate from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX modes. When connected to a switch in full duplex,
in easy steps. 10BASE-T users can upgrade to 100BASE-TX the network speed can be increased to 200Mbps, making the
anytime without changing driver software or network cables. adapter an ideal NIC for high-speed server deployment.

Network Security Comprehensive Driver Support

Network administrators can install optional boot ROMs on the The adapter supports all major network operating systems,
adapters to implement network security. Diskless workstations including NetWare, Windows and Linux.
equipped with these ROMs can remote boot from NetWare or
Windows NT servers and access authorized data.
