Note:
Auto-negotiation for speed and duplex is the default behavior for
most network devices that support it. However, to ensure that you know
how your network ports are operating, you should configure them explic-
itly for the correct speed and duplex for the connected device.
Removal of Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module from a Host
Board
To remove a Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module from a host board
(either SBC or carrier card), refer to
cautions and warnings and perform the following steps.
!
Caution
Damage to module components
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage
to module components.
Therefore, ensure that you power down before inserting or removing the
Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module module.
!
Caution
Damage to Board or electronic components
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage
the circuits.
Therefore, before touching boards or electronic components, make sure
that you are working in an ESD-safe environment.
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD
strap to the chassis as a ground. The ESD strap must be secured to
your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.
2. Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power
off and remove the AC cord or DC power lines from the system.
Remove the chassis or system cover(s) as necessary to gain access
to the host board.
