U575 Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapters

The U575 Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is a low dual-port PCI adapter
based on the Intel 82546 gigabit controller. The U575 PCI adapter supports
1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T Ethernet network topologies with a PCI
data-path width of 64 bits.
If you order a U575 PCI adapter separately from the system, the adapter is outfitted
with a low-profile faceplate. A high-profile faceplate is a part of the kit. See
"Converting Adapters for Low- and High-Profile PCI Slots"
converting the adapter for use in a high-profile slot.
For a summary of its general features and requirements, see
illustration of its faceplate, see
N O T E
Your system may also contain dedicated Ethernet ports
for U463 Virtual Technician Modules, but these Ethernet
ports are intended for a local maintenance network. For
more information, see the Express5800/320Ma Virtual
Technician Module User's Guide.
