1.10 LAN Subsystem
The LAN subsystem consists of the following:
•
Physical layer interface device. As a manufacturing option, the board includes one of the
following Platform LAN Connect (PLC) devices:
Intel 82562EZ PLC for 10/100 Mbits/sec Ethernet LAN connectivity
Intel 82547EI PLC for Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) Ethernet LAN connectivity
•
RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs
Additional features of the LAN subsystem include:
•
PCI bus master interface
•
CSMA/CD protocol engine
•
Serial CSMA/CD unit interface that supports the 82562EZ
•
8-bit CSA port interface that supports the 82547EI
•
PCI power management
Supports ACPI technology
Supports LAN wake capabilities
1.10.1 10/100 Mbits/sec LAN Subsystem (Optional)
The 10/100 Mbits/sec LAN subsystem includes the ICH5 (with its CSMA/CD interface), the Intel
82562EZ PLC, and an RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs
