Chapter 6 PCI Bus Ethernet Interface
6.1 Introduction
The board is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet chipset
which is fully compliant with 802.3u 100Base-T or 802.3z/ab 1000Base-
T. It is supported by major network operating systems. It is also both
100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack. The network boot fea-
ture can be utilized by incorporating the boot ROM image files for the
appropriate network operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files are
combined with system BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS
setup.
