Warranty Information
D-Link provides a one-year limited warranty for hardware (excluding power supplies and fans), and ninety days for spare parts.
Hardware Installation: Shut down the computer, unplug power, remove chassis cover. Locate and insert the adapter into a PCI Express slot, secure with a screw. Replace chassis cover, reconnect power, and turn on the computer. The BIOS should automatically configure the adapter.
Driver Installation: Insert the D-Link CD-ROM. Run the "Install Drivers" option from the autorun screen. Follow the on-screen prompts. For Linux, Netware, or FreeBSD, navigate to "View Other Drivers" and follow the specific instructions for those operating systems.
Configuration: By default, the adapter obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. To verify, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig". To assign a static IP address, navigate to Network Connections, right-click on the adapter, select Properties, and configure TCP/IP settings.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Adapter not detected | Ensure adapter is securely seated in the PCI Express slot. Check BIOS settings. Reinstall drivers. |
| No network connectivity | Verify network cable is properly connected. Check link/activity LEDs on the adapter and network device. Ensure drivers are installed correctly. Test with a different network cable or port. |
| Slow network speed | Check link speed status. Ensure auto-negotiation is enabled on both the adapter and the network device. Verify network cable category (e.g., Cat 5e or higher for Gigabit). |
| Driver installation fails | Ensure you are using the correct driver for your operating system. Check for any conflicting software or drivers. Temporarily disable antivirus software during installation. |
