HP PCI INTEGRATED 10/100 VG INTERFACE

The HP PCI Integrated 10/100 VG Interface is supplied in a PCI accessory slot of the HP Vectra
XU 6/xxx PC . Both the A model and B model of this interface support the following two standards:
100 VG-AnyLAN, 100 Mbits per second over voice grade cable (IEEE 802.12 standard for
Ethernet); 10 BaseT, 10 Mbits per second, ISO 8802-3 (IEEE 802.3 standard).
On the rear panel there are either one or two RJ-45 unshielded-twisted-pair (UTP) connectors.
One is for 100 Mbits per second and the other for 10 Mbits per second, or else they are both
combined in a single connector. The D2746A Coaxial Adapter accessory is available for users who
require a BNC coax connector. There are four lights for monitoring the adapter status, as
summarized in the following list:
• Activity light, showing network activity
• Link status light
• 100 Mbit/s light
• 10 Mbit/s light.
The following tables summarize the meanings of the various combinations of these lights being
