 Introduction
 ============
        
	Your new DFE-580TX Quad Channel Server Card provides a high-performance
	solution to multi-channel connectivity between a server and a network
	backbone - without using multiple PCI bus slots.  Each channel can provide a
	10Mbps or 100Mbps half/full duplex connection and each channel is its own
	collision domain.  The four ports can also be aggregated to provide up to
	800 Mbps throughput in full-duplex mode.  The driver-level software provides 
	fault tolerence and load balancing functions.  Dynamic fail-over is automatically
	handled, and network traffic is automatically balanced between all of the 
	active ports - without loss of connectivity.  If a port that has been removed from
	the array (due to a cable fault, for example) is later restored to functioning,
	the software will automatically add it back into the array and balance the 
	network traffic across the entire array.
    
    	You can get latest releases of drivers from D-Link's Web site 
    	(http://www.dlink.com). Should there be further requirements 
	please contact the support manager at the local D-Link Office listed bellow.

Getting Started
 ---------------

    	For Windows 2000/2003 Professional, Server, and Advanced Server:

	Auto-run program will assist your setup.  Installation consists of two steps:  First, 
	you need to install the drivers for the four Ethernet ports on the DFE-580TX.  This is
	accomplished by running the "autorun.exe" program on the installation CD, and then clicking
	on the "Install Drivers" button on the first installation window.  Once the drivers are installed,
	you must restart your computer to go to the second step.

	The second step of the DFE-580TX installation is to again run the "autorun.exe" program, but this
	time clicking on the "Install Server Array" button.  This will install the configuration and
	monitoring software for your DFE-580TX.  You do not need to restart your computer after this step.

	These steps are outlined in more detail below:


    To install the DFE-580TX Drivers and Array Software in Windows 2000/2003 Server:

	1.  Insert the installation CD into your computer's CD-ROM Drive
	2.  Click on the "My Computer" icon (from the Start menu or from the Desktop)
	3.  Double click on the CD-ROM icon which will read "DFE-580TX(D:)" - assuming your CD-ROM
	    drive is drive D:
	4.  This will normally open the autorun.exe file and begin the installation software.
	5.  If the above steps did not automatically start the autorun.exe program, try right-clicking
	    the CD-ROM icon and selecting "Autoplay".
	6.  If the above did not automatically start the autorun.exe program, try right-clicking the
	    CD-ROM icon and selecting "Explore".  Then double click on the file "autorun.exe".
	7.  Once the autorun.exe program has started, click on the "Install Drivers" icon.  This will
	    install the necessary drivers for your DFE-580TX.
	8.  You will need to restart your computer.
	9.  Repeat steps 1 through 6 (as necessary) to restart the autorun.exe program.
	10. Click the "Install Server Array" icon.  This will install the utility software to configure and
	    monitor your DFE-580TX.   



   
    	If the NOS (Network Operating System) you are using is not covered
    	by the auto-run program, please refer to the individual documentation
    	provided in INFO directory.

	The "autorun.exe" program also allows you to view the User's Manual, Explore the CD, or link to the D-Link
	Website.
