Introduction
Thank you for choosing the D-Link DXE-810S, the value leader among 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters for PCI-
EXPRESS Bus personal computers. The D-Link DXE-810S PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is a
high performance adapter designed for the high-speed PCI Express Bus Architecture. The PCI Express 10
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter offers increased bandwidth, reliability, and more functionality than standard PCI
network cards. It is specifically designed to allow throughput at rates up to 20 Gbps, thus eliminating the
bottleneck that exists with current 32 and 64 bit PCI bus architectures.
