- One of the following slot types:
- An open PCI bus master slot, 32-bit, operating at 33MHz.
- 32 MB of System Memory
- 150 MHz processor, or faster
- The latest BIOS for your computer
- One of the following types of twisted-pair network cabling:
- Category 5 or better for 100Mbps
- Category 3, 5, or better for 10Mbps
Features
Designed for versatility and performance, the DFE-520TX Network Adapter provides the following:
- Operability in 32-bit, 33 MHz slot servers and workstations
- Universal Bus support 3.3V
- Plug-and-Play installation
- Supports for full-duplex double network throughput
- Supports 802.3x flow control

- One built-in RJ-45 connector
Installation
Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION:
Under ordinary circumstances, a DFE-520TX card will not be affected by a static charge that may be received through your body during the 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 the ground before handling the adapter card. Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. Ensure that the following items are included:
- One DFE-520TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Card
- DFE-520TX Drivers and Manual on CD-ROM
Software Installation
You must install the driver software for your DFE-520TX before installing the PCI card into your PC. Insert the CD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. It should begin running the driver installation program if you have auto-execute enabled. When the screen shown below appears, click the Install Driver link.
If you do not have auto-execute enabled for your PC’s CD-ROM drive, navigate to the root directory of the CD using Windows Explorer and click on the file named Autorun.exe. When the driver installation program (shown above) is complete, you can then install the PCI card inside your PC. When you restart your PC, the DFE-520TX will be ready to use.
Installing the Adapter
- Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.
- Insert the contact edge of the DFE-520TX card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot.
- Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
- Replace the computer’s chassis cover.
- Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch the computer’s 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 DFE-520TX adapter.
Connecting the Network Cable
Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and 10BASE-T Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum length of any single cable segment is 100 meters. Please keep in mind, however, that the maximum cable run between any two stations in a collision domain is 205m.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, check to see:
- that the appropriate driver is loaded;
- that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection;
- that the supporting hub is properly qualified for the application.
