EtherExpress PCI PRO 100B LAN Adapter Board
The Intel EtherExpress PCI PRO 100B local area network (LAN) Adapter board
(standard on all configurations except base) connects to your local network via
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wire. The UTP connects to a single RJ-45 connector on
the adapter board at the back of the system.
The PRO 100B Adapter board and supporting software extends the performance of
the ProServa PH servers onto the LAN. A 32-bit architecture and features like Early
Receive Interrupt and Suspend/Resume ensure that data flows at top speeds on and
off the LAN. Additionally, as the PRO 100B high performance capabilities minimize
use of the server's processor, the ProServa PH has more computing power for even
the most demanding applications and operating environments.
The 100-MB adapter board runs at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, depending on the speed of
the hub port to which the adapter is attached. This permits the server to take full
advantage of its high performance, high speed PCI bus.
The Adapter board is switchless and is Plug and Play compatible. The board has 16
KB of onboard memory, an Intel 82556 controller, uses INTA interrupt levels, and
incorporates a Bus Master DMA data transfer mode.
A link (LNK) LED on the board indicates when the adapter is connected to a hub or
switch and is receiving link pulses. An activity (ACT) LED on the board indicates
read/write activity on the network. A lit yellow LED indicates that the board is
operating at 10 Mbps and a lit green LED indicates that the board is operating at 100
Mbps. The adapter auto-detects 10 or 100 Mbps operation.
Additional information on the adapter is given in the help files included with the board
and in Appendix I, "PRO 100B LAN Adapter Board."
CD-ROM Reader
All servers except the base configurations ship with a quad-speed SCSI-2 CD-ROM
reader installed in the bottom slot of the 5 1/4-inch accessible bay. The reader is
used to load and start programs from a CD disc.
CD-ROM operational information is given in Section 2, "Installing Your Server."
Connector and jumper information is included in Appendix F, "Quad-Speed CD-ROM
Reader."
LANDesk Server Monitor Module
The LANDesk Server Monitor Module (standard on high availability configurations,
optional on all others) is a hardware/software server management application (for use
with Novell NetWare 3.1x or 4.x). The application monitors the behavior of your server
over a network or an optional modem. The Server Monitor Module monitors over a
hundred different server parameters. This allows you to identify trends, both positive
