Introduction

Thank you for choosing the D-Link DGE-550SX PCI-X 1000Base-SX Network

Adapter, the value leader among Gigabit Ethernet network adapters. This chapter

provides a general description of DGE-550SX network adapter features, with a

summary of features at the end of the chapter. Installation instructions are provided in

the following chapters.

General Description

The D-Link DGE-550SX PCI-X 1000Base-SX Network Adapter is a high-bandwidth

network adapter, providing up to 2000Mbps full-duplex bandwidth capacity to support

high-end servers. This network adapter delivers added performance to the network

while working with the existing LAN infrastructure. In addition, with advanced

functions such as VLAN filtering and hardware-based IP packet processing, it

provides added performance (by offloading the server’s overheads), flexible

configuration and secure networking to users in a standards-based environment.

Inside its compact form, the DGE-550SX network adapter holds a Gigabit Ethernet

controller and a standard-based PCI/PCI-X interface with a fiber SC duplex connector.

Its front panel includes LEDs to indicate linkage and activity states.

The DGE-550SX network adapter can be installed in (short) 32-bit or (long) 64-bit

PCI/PCI-X slots at 33 MHz, 66 MHz, 100 MHz, or 133 MHz. Best performance,

however, is reached with a 64-bit/133 MHz bus.

To setup the DGE-550SX network adapter no pre-installation is required—simply

insert it into the PCI/PCI-X slot (for detailed information, please refer to the Installation

Guide). For further information on how to install the driver for different operating

systems, refer to section “Driver Installation”.

cumstances:

• Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic cables or fiber-optic transmission

components with unprotected eyes!

• Never allow fiber-optic transmission paths to operate until all the connections

have been made.

• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports on the switch or the network

adapter.

CAUTION: Radiation!

The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Linux

The Linux driver for the DGE-550SX network adapter supports the Linux kernel 2.4.13

and higher stable versions. The installation procedure described in this manual is a

general description for Intel/x86 computers, which is valid for all distributions.

The installation package offers the following two installation procedures:

• Installation Mode

• Patch Generation Mode

The INSTALLATION MODE is recommended for normal users. Using this mode, the

driver is installed automatically without any user interaction. In case of installation

problems, the driver installation script autonomously tries to solve the problems. The

driver is compiled automatically and the resulting driver module object file is installed

in a suitable location (usually somewhere below the directory /lib/modules/...). No

source files of the driver are installed into the kernel directory. Only the driver module

object file and the manual page (man page) of the driver are installed on your system

permanently.

Using the PATCH GENERATION MODE, a driver patch is created, which can be

integrated into the Linux kernel instead of compiling and installing the driver on your

system. This mode is recommended for advanced users only. For more information,

refer to the corresponding readme file.

In the following, the INSTALLATION MODE is described.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites have to be met in order to install the Linux driver:

• Any device using the Linux kernel module needs to be stopped.

• Your system has to be equipped with a network adapter.

Without a network adapter the full driver functionality cannot be checked.

• The Linux kernel source must be stored in the directory /usr/src/linux.

The kernel source and the kernel version have to be consistent.

• A compilation tool, e.g. “gcc”, has to be installed on your Linux system.

Prepare the installation package

1. Login as “root”.

2. Unpack the installation package with one of the following commands:

tar xfvj install-???.tar.bz2

bunzip2 -c install-???.tar.bz2 | tar xfv -

The installation script can now be started.

-8-

Install the driver

To start the installation script, proceed as follows:

1. Execute the following command to start the script:

cd DriverInstall

./install.sh

2. Select the option INSTALLATION MODE.

The driver is now compiled and loaded. This process can take a few minutes.

For more information on the Installation Mode or any information on the Patch

Generation Mode, refer to the corresponding readme file or to the kernel

documentation (which usually can be found in the directory /usr/src/linux/

Documentation/ on your system).

Novell Netware

The driver is a 32-bit ODI HSM Novell NetWare server driver for the DGE-550SX

network adapter. It supports both Netware 5.10 and Netware 6.x. In addition to the

32-bit server driver, a Novell ODI 16-bit DOS client MLID driver is available for the

latest Novell NetWare VLM Client.

NOTE: To perform the installation, you must have access to the server console.

NOTE: The setting for Minimum Packet Receive Buffers in the startup.ncf must be

increased to at least 120 per network adapter (e.g. for three network adapters you

should add Set Minimum Packet Receive Buffers = 360 to startup.ncf). On SMP

Systems (Symmetric Multi Processing Systems), you may have to multiply this

number with the number of active processors.

Novell Netware 5.10

To install the network driver on Novell NetWare 5.10, proceed as follows:

1. After you have installed the network adapter in your computer, boot your NetWare

system.

NetWare detects the new network adapter and tries to install a driver.

2. To get a list of available drivers, press <Enter>.

3. The menu “Select a driver” is displayed.

4. To install an unlisted driver, press <Insert> (the D-Link driver is not listed).

5. To specify the path to the driver, press <F3>.

The window “Specify a directory path” is displayed.

6. Type the path to the driver.

If you are installing from CD-ROM, the menu “Select an action” is displayed.

Here, select CONTINUE AND ACCESS THE CD-ROM.

The menu “Select a driver to install” is displayed.

7. Select the driver for your network adapter.
