Introduction

The DX-PCIGB is the easiest way to upgrade your computer’s network

speed to 2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) in full-duplex transfer mode. It also

supports 10 Mbps/100 Mbps in both half-duplex and full-duplex transfer

modes, using auto-negotiation technology to automatically detect the

network speed. It can be used with most operating systems, supports

Quality of Service (QoS) on high-speed local area networks, and supports

a boot ROM socket for use with diskless workstations, providing network

security and easy management.

Important safety instructions

Before getting started, read these instructions and save them for later

reference.

• Before you install your Gigabit PCI adapter into your

computer, read this user guide. In some operating systems,

the driver must be installed before you install your adapter.

• Do not drop or hit your adapter.

• Do not install your adapter in a location that is subject to

strong vibrations, because vibration may damage your

adapter.

• Do not disassemble or try to modify your adapter.

Disassembly or modification may void your warranty and

could damage your adapter could cause a fire or electric

shock.

• Do not store your adapter in a damp location. Do not allow

moisture or liquids to drip into your adapter. Liquids can

damage your adapter leading to a fire or electric shock.

• Do not insert metal objects, such as coins or paper clips,

into your adapter.

• Your adapter is for general computer use. Do not use your

adapter in a computer that requires exceptional reliability,

especially if a breakdown or malfunction of your adapter

might jeopardize life or health, such as aerospace

equipment, atomic power control systems, traffic-related

equipment, transportation equipment, industrial robotics,

combustion equipment, safety devices, and life-support

systems.

Package contents

Make sure that the package contains the following items:

• DX-PCIGB gigabit PCI adapter

• CD containing drivers and manuals

•Low-profilebracket

•ThisUser Guide

Installing the adapter

Caution: Opening your computer’s case may void your computer’s

warranty. Contact your computer’s manufacturer before opening

the case to make sure that you do not void the warranty. You may

need to have the adapter installed by your computer’s

manufacturer or an authorized computer technician.

Caution: Before touching any electronic components, make sure

that you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to

discharge any static electricity stored on your clothing or body.

To install your adapter:

1Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and all

cables.

2Remove your computer’s case cover. See your computer’s

user guide for information about removing the cover.

3Locate an available PCI slot. PCI slots are usually white.

4Remove the screw that secures the backplate (the small

piece of metal that covers the opening for PCI card on the

back panel of your computer), then remove the backplate.

5If the bracket on the DX-PCIGB is too tall to fit your

computer’s case, remove the bracket and replace it with the

included low-profile bracket.

Installing the adapter

Installing the adapter driver

Note: For Mac OS X 10.4 or higher users, your adapter is Plug

& Play capable in Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, so no driver

installation is needed. For Windows 7, Windows Vista,

Windows XP, and WIndows 2000 users: Follow the steps below

to install the driver.

To install the adapter driver:

1If the Found New Hardware Wizard opens when you start

your computer, click Cancel.

Note: This may not appear on Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

2Insert the DX-PCIGB CD into your CD or DVD drive. The

Dynex Gigabit PCI Adapter window opens automatically.

3Click Install Driver to start the installation wizard.

4Click Next, then click Finish when the wizard is complete.

5Click EXIT to close the Dynex Gigabit PCI Adapter window.

Troubleshooting

Using Wake-On-LAN

Your DX-PCIGB features Wake On LAN (WOL).This feature lets a remote

station "wake" your computer when it is in Standby or Hibernate mode.

Note: The WOL function is system dependent. In addition to the

following instructions, you may need to download WOL software

fromIntel or another manufacturer's Web site. See yourcomputer's

user guide for specific BIOS settings.

Troubleshooting

If you are having problems with your network, check the following topics.

Verify adapter installation

If your adapter is not installed correctly, including the network system

software or device drivers, your network will not function correctly.

To verify that your adapter is correctly installed:

1Click Start, then right-click My Computer and click

Properties. The System Properties window opens.

2Click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager. The

Device Manager window opens.

Troubleshooting

3Double-click Network adapters to display the list of

network adapters. You see Dynex Gigabit PCI Adapter.

You should see a yellow exclamation point or red "X" over

the icon adjacent to Dynex Gigabit PCI Adapter, your

adapter is not installed correctly or may have a problem.

Double-click Dynex Gigabit PCI Adapter to read the

explanation of the problem. This information will be

helpful if you need to contact a Dynex technical support.

Verify cable connections

To verify cable connections:

1Make sure that the computer(s) you are troubleshooting

are connected correctly.

2Each network adapter must be connected to the network

with Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cables.

3Examine the network cables and make sure that they have

not been damaged.

4Make sure that no electromagnetic interference, like

unshielded speakers or appliances on the same circuit, is

affecting your network.

5If you are using a hub, router, or switch, make sure that

your network cables are not plugged into a dedicated

Uplink port. The Uplink port is only used when connecting

your hub to another hub or switch.

Troubleshooting

Understanding indicators

Your adapter has two indicators or lights labeled 100M and 1000M on its

back plate. They can give you information about your network traffic and

help you determine problems when troubleshooting.

• A steady green light of 100M indicates a good connection

at 100 Mbps.

• A flashing green light of 100M indicates that the network

adapter is sending or receiving data at 100 Mbps.

• A steady green light of 1000M indicates a good connection

at 1000 Mbps.

• A flashing green light of 1000M indicates that the network

adapter is sending or receiving data at 1000 Mbps.

Pinging your adapter

PING (Packet Internet Groper), is a utility to determine if a specific

IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the

specified address and waiting for a reply. Ping is primarily used to

troubleshoot Internet connections. By sending out a PING, you are

verifying that a specific computer is available. Because all

computers on the network must have a unique IP address, a reply

means that a computer is on the network and that it can

communicate.

If the computers can communicate, the hardware and cabling are

probably installed correctly. If you cannot ping another computer,

there is probably a problem with the hardware. Check the cabling

and adapter installation. If you are unable to access the network,

even when you receive a reply to your ping, there is probably a

software configuration issue. Verify that all the settings are correct.
