Ethernet Support
The Intel
®
Server Board SE8500HW4 has 1000/100/10 Ethernet capability as supported by the
embedded Broadcom* BCM5704C Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The BCM5704C is a fully
integrated dual-port, 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet media access control, and physical
layer transceiver solution for high-performance network applications.
The BCM5704C is an integrated solution combining two triple-speed, IEEE 802.3-compliant media
access control (MAC), PCI, and PCI-X* bus interfaces, an on-chip buffer memory, and an
integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. The BCM5704C includes two 10/100/1000-
Mbps Ethernet MACs with full/half-duplex capability at all speeds and two 10/100/1000 copper
PHYs. Support for the following 802.3 functions is featured in the MAC: VLAN tagging, layer 2
priority encoding, link aggregation, and full-duplex flow control.
