Network Interface
Controllers
This chapter describes the Compaq 10/100 TX PCI UTP Board, the standard
Network Interface Controller (NIC) in Compaq ProLiant 5000 and 5000R
Servers, as well as other Compaq available as ProLiant 5000 options.
Compaq 10/100 TX PCI UTP Board
This 10/100 TX PCI UTP controller is preinstalled in Compaq ProLiant 5000
and 5000R Servers. The 10/100 TX PCI UTP provides support to 10 or
100 megabits per second (Mb/s) Ethernet networks. Because of the dual-speed
capability, the 10/100 TX PCI UTP controller allows users currently running
10 Mb/s networks to upgrade to 100 Mb/s technology without changing
controllers or drivers.
