D-Link DFE-530TX+ User Manual
Section 3 - Troubleshooting
Make sure that the DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter is properly seated in the computer’s PCI slot.
If Windows
®
does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that
were previously loaded.
2. The computer does not recognize the DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter.
The cable included with your NIC is a WOL or Wake On LAN cable. Wake on LAN is an optional feature of the card and
is not required for the NIC to function properly. Some new motherboards do not need the WOL cable for Wake on LAN to
work. The support is built into the PCI slot, and in this case the customer will have to reference the motherboard manual
or manufacturer´s website for setup information.
Both ends of the three wire cable are not the same. The connector with the large key way will connect to the motherboard,
and the smaller connector will connect to the NIC. To use this optional feature you will need to have additional software
installed on your computer such as Magic Packet.
3. What is the 3 wire cable included with my Ethernet adapter?
4. What is Wake On Lan (WOL)?
Wake On LAN provides remote wake-up technology which enables systems to be remotely powered “on” for off hours
tasks. A result of the Intel-IBM Advanced Manageability Alliance and part of the Wired for Management Baseline
Specification, this technology helps save time on automated software installations, upgrades, disk backups and virus
scans. Wake on LAN technology resides in a managed network adapter and on the system motherboard.
5. Why does my computer work incorrectly after I plugged in the WOL cable?
D-Link manufactures only three network cards that can support the Wake On Lan function. Each card has it´s own WOL
cable. Do not swap cables from one card to another card. This can cause a blank screen, and your PC will not work.
