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

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-550T adapter.



Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it

happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is

assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned

to another device. In such a case, the conflict of

Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both

devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup

utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt

Number.

1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet enables operation over the

extensive installed base of legacy Category 5 cabling systems and,

by default, the Category 5 cabling systems currently being

installed.

It provides optimal full-duplex 1000Mb/s Ethernet service over

Category 5e links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5. Topology

rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-T.

Category 5 and 5e link lengths are limited to 100 meters.
