The XVR16 UEFI Firmware automatically detects connected SATA Drives or flash
disks and enters the corresponding drive parameters into the UEFI Firmware
setup.
Using SATA and SCSI devices: The PC allows the simultaneous use of SATA and
SCSI hard disks (for example: SCSI PMC). UEFI Firmware setup allows
reordering drives to boot from either SCSI or SATA drives.
6.16 Gigabit Ethernet Interface
Four Ethernet interfaces are available on the XVR16 depending on the
configuration. The ports are high performance 1000BASE-T (backward
compatible with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX).
Use of PCH Internal Gbit MAC, combined with I217 Clarksville Gbit PHY,
provides VPRO capability. All four ports provide IEEE-1588 capability. Each
network interface is assigned a unique MAC address which resides in an Ethernet
address ROM on the XVR16. All GbE interfaces are equipped with LEDs
indicating Link and Activity.
• Two GbE interfaces available at the front panel
– ETH1 Intel Springville, standard port
– ETH2 Intel Springville, optionally provided when the PMC/XMC option
is not chosen (H=1,2 or 3).
• Two GbEs at the rear are routed to P0 (ANSI/VITA 31.1-2003 compliant)
– ETH3 Intel Springville
– ETH4 Intel Clarksville
Remote booting is supported on all four ports with Intel PXE Boot Firmware.
