see Ethernet Port Mappings on page 75 .The host interface supports a PCI Express v2.0 x4, x2, x1
link with 5Gbps and 2.5Gbps operation.
B.5.1 NV-Memory-NIC Configuration
The SharpMedia PCIE-8120 card stores configuration data for the Intel i82580EB/DB device on
a local EEPROM device. The configuration data for individual variants is according to port
mapping. See,
Ethernet Port Mappings on page 75 .

MAC Addresses: factory programmed.

Subsystem Vendor ID set to 0X1223 for Artesyn Embedded Technologies.

Subsystem ID set to 0x0016.
B.6 Ethernet Switch Unit
Based on the variant, SharpMedia PCIE-8120 uses one or two 16-Port SerDes Gigabit Ethernet
switch devices to allow full bandwidth connectivity between all onboard resources.

Broadcom BCM5396 device, 256-Pin FBGA package.

16 port 10/100/1000Mbps integrated switch controller.
B.6.1 Main Switch Unit (MSW) - BCM5396
The main switch unit (MSW) is available on all versions of the SharpMedia PCIE-8120 card and
provides the basic connection between all DSP, NIC, MFA, and external Ethernet resources.
B.6.2 Video Switch Unit (VSW) - BCM5396
The Video Switch Unit (VSW) is available on variants that provide additional network
connection between DSP, NIC, MFA, and external Ethernet resources. The main task of the VSW
is to connect the second Ethernet port of the DSP units to the switch fabric.
