Network Interfaces
The Osprey provides two Intel I210-IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers. The controller provides a
standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T
applications. The I210-IT Ethernet controller auto-negotiates connection speed. Drivers are
readily available to support a variety of operating systems. For more information on this device,
refer to the
Intel I210 Ethernet Controller datasheet
Integrator’s Note:
Ethernet Port 1 supports network boot; Port 0 does not.
Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet connector provides access to the Ethernet ports 0 and 1. The connector uses IEC
61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD damage. Figure 24 shows the
location and pin orientation of the Ethernet connector.
