2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The LH1660C-SC and LH1660C-LC are Gigabit Ethernet cards that fully comply with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000BASE-SX/LX
standards. Two LED indicators (LINK/ACT and FDX) on the bracket monitor the board link, activities and full-duplex status.
These two Gigabit PCI cards support Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), Remote Program Load (RPL), and Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP). Multi-Boot Agent (MBA) is a software module that enables your networked system to boot with the images provided
by remote systems across the network.
