Installation
Follow the instructions in this section to install the adapter.
Unpack and Inspect
Caution: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-560SX card will not be affected
by static charge. In some circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily
high static charge, 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. Make sure you have the following items:
• One DGE-560SX 1000BASE-SX(LC) PCI-E x4 Adapter Card
• CD-ROM containing system drivers, and Quick Installation Guide
Installing the Adapter
1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.
2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-560SX card into the connector of an available PCI-Express (x4 or
higher) Bus expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are fully
seated in the PCI 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 computer power 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-560SX adapter.
