Network
LAN
For connecting the P
ROCESSOR
to the LAN (local area network) there are different network cards and an onboard
LAN adapter available:
•
Onboard LAN Adapter
•
Ethernet Card 100 Mbps, PCI
•
Ethernet Card 1000 Mbps, PCI
•
Ethernet Card 1000 Mbps, PCIe
The onboard LAN adapter and the Ethernet Cards 1000 Mbps have the ability to establish a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or
1000 Mbps connection. The Ethernet Card 100 Mbps has the ability to establish a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connec-
tion.
For a redundant connection to the LAN also server adapters are available, allowing configuring them in teaming
mode, sharing one single IP-address. You can see whether a network card is of server or desktop type on the
label on the card. With a P
ROCESSOR
AGS-3390-1/-2
also the two onboard LAN adapters – [32a] and [32b] – can be
used to establish a redundant network connection. Please refer also to section
6.1.11 Redundant network adapter
for
more information.
The onboard LAN adapter, the 100 Mbps and the 1000 Mbps network cards offer each a Twisted Pair connection:

Order
The PCI Express network card is inserted in the first PCIe x1 slot. A second PCI Express netwok card can be in-
serted into the PCIe x16 slot. The PCI network card is inserted in the PCI slot of the P
ROCESSOR
with the highest
number. If several network cards are used they are inserted consecutively.
