DGE-560SX
Fiber Gigabit PCI Express x4 Adapter
The D-Link DGE-560SX Fiber Gigabit PCI Express x4
Adapter is a high-performance network card that lets
businesses take advantage of the PCI Express (PCI-E)
slots of their servers to enhance network performance
with fiber-optic connectivity. The adapter’s dedicated
input/output (I/O) bandwidth PCI-E ensures priority
performance without bus sharing for Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity in fiber-optic networks.
PCI Express Interface
The DGE-560SX PCI Express x4 adapter supports
2 Gbps data addressing to increase higher throughput
requirements from the adapter’s PC board to the
server host. It provides unsurpassed robustness,
reliability and performance, and is the optimum I/O
connectivity solution for a wide spectrum of server
storage devices. As the successor to the PCI and
PCI-X interfaces, the PCI Express bus architecture
eliminates many of the inefficiencies of parallel
PCI and PCI-X architectures. With lower pin counts
and lower power consumption requirements, the
DGE-560SX PCI Express host bus adapter also
reduces system-level power requirements. PCI
Express is backward compatible with PCI and PCI-X
addressing, which allows all existing applications
and operating systems to function unchanged.
Fiber-Optic Connection
Delivering network speeds of up to 2000 Mbps
(full-duplex) over fiber-optic cable, the DGE-560SX
adapter brings ample bandwidth to a server situated
up to 550 m from it. It reduces the host operating
system overhead by providing on-board verification
of IP headers as well as TCP/UDP checksum for
data received. In turn, these functions free up server
processing power for other applications.
VLAN & QoS Support
The DGE-560SX adapter provides on-board screening
of VLAN tagged Ethernet frames compliant with IEEE
802.1Q. This allows the server to operate in a flexible
and secure network configuration in a standards-
based environment. It supports 802.1p Priority Queues
for improved delivery of time-sensitive data like voice
and video.
Advanced Functions
The DGE-560SX supports other advanced features,
such as Jumbo Frames of up to 9 KB and Promiscuous
mode. It supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specifications to enable OS-directed
configuration and Power Management (OSPM) to
enumerate and configure server motherboards. The
adapter supports an SNMP agent for management
through an SNMP-based platform.
Hot Swap Capability
It is often difficult or impossible to schedule downtime
on a server to replace or install peripheral cards. As
a PCI Express card, the DGE-560SX provides native
support for hot plugging and hot swapping, which
makes it ideal for installation in a server. This hot-swap
capability makes it easy for network administrators
to add, change or remove I/O peripherals while
minimizing the server downtime.
