Gigabit Ethernet
The CP6003-SA board provides five 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces.
They are based on one Intel® 82580EB Quad Gigabit Ethernet controller and one Intel®
82579LM Gigabit Ethernet controller.
The Intel® 82580EB Quad Gigabit Ethernet controller provides four Gigabit Ethernet interfac-
es, two on the front panel, GbE A and GbE B, and two on the rear I/O, PICMG 2.16 LPa and
PICMG 2.16 LPb. The Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet controller provides one Gigabit Ether-
net interface on the front panel, GbE E.
The Boot from LAN feature is supported.
The Ethernet connectors J10, J11 and J12 are realized as RJ-45 connectors. The interfaces
provide automatic detection and switching between 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T
data transmission (Auto-Negotiation). Auto-wire switching for crossed cables is also supported
(Auto MDI-X).
Ethernet LED Status
ACT (green):
This LED monitors network connection and activity. When this LED is lit, it means
that a link has been established. The LED blinks when network packets are sent or received
through the RJ-45 port. When this LED is not lit, there is no link established.
SPEED (green/orange/off):
This LED lights up to indicate a successful 100Base-TX or
1000Base-T connection. When green it indicates a 100Base-TX connection and when orange
it indicates a 1000Base-TX connection. When not lit and the ACT LED is active, the connection
is operating at 10Base-T.
