Introduction

SMC's EZ Card 1000, SMC9452TX, is a Gigabit Ethernet network
interface card for 32-bit PCI local bus-compliant computers. It
operates under the 1000BASE-T specification over Category 5 UTP
Cable, as well as being compatible with 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
connections. This network card provides up to ten times the
bandwidth of Fast Ethernet, and can deliver a full 2 Gbps of
throughput to the host PC. A true plug-and-play device, the card is
auto-configurable upon power up. Leading-edge ASIC technology
and performance-enhancing techniques maximize throughput and
minimize CPU utilization. The result is a network card that delivers
the performance and reliability demanded by today's high-end
servers and workstations.
