D-Link DFE‑530TX 10‑100Mbps PCI Card for PC

D-Link DFE‑530TX Product Features

Powerful Performance of DFE‑530TX
The DFE‑530TX adapter operates in the 32-bit Bus Master mode, delivering 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 network clock, it transfers data directly to/from the host’s memory, by-passing the CPU to alleviate the host’s workload.

Easy Migration
The DFE‑530TX adapter allows users to migrate from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet in easy steps. 10BASE-T users can upgrade to 100BASE-TX anytime without changing driver software or network cables.

Network Security
Network administrators can install optional boot ROMs on the DFE‑530TX adapters to implement network security. Diskless workstations equipped with these ROMs can remote boot from NetWare or Windows NT servers and access authorized data.

Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Interface
The DFE‑530TX adapter’s single connector connects to either 10BASE-T Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet completely without any need to set configuration. It detects the connected hub’s or switch’s capability and auto-negotiates to use the highest available speed.

Full Duplex Support
Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected in both 10BASE-T Ethernet to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX modes. When connected to a switch in full duplex, the network speed can be increased to 200Mbps, making the adapter an ideal NIC for high-speed server deployment.

Comprehensive Driver Support
The DFE‑530TX adapter supports all major network operating systems, including NetWare, Windows and Linux.
