Chapter 7 PCI Bus Ethernet Interface
7.1 Introduction
The PCM-9577 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet
chipset which is fully compliant with 802.3u 100BASE-T \Fast Ethernet
CSMA/CD standards (PCM-9577F) and compliant IEEE 802.3z/ab
1000BAS-T Gigabit Ethernet(PCM-9577FG). It is supported by major
network operating systems. It is also both 100Base-T and 10Base-T com-
patible.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack via an optional wiring
kit. The network boot feature 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.
