Gigabit Ethernet NIC with Copper Connections
The gigabit network interface card is a full-duplex gigabit Ethernet interface that is fully
compliant with IEEE 802.3z for UTP and fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE
802.3u. The interface is compatible with all 10/100/1000BaseT hubs, switches and routers.
It can provide sustained throughput of up to 1 Gb/s.
Figure #34
The gigabit Ethernet NIC has an RJ-45 connector for connection of Category 5 or 5E
copper cabling. The maximum cable length is 100 meters or 328 feet.
There are three LEDs on the gigabit NIC connector plate, one for each port speed option:
10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
The A LED is ON when the adapter is at 10 Mb/s.
n
The B LED is ON when the adapter is at 100 Mb/s.
n
The C LED is ON when the adapter is at 1000 Mb/s.
n
A LED is ON when there is a valid network link established.
n
A LED flashes slowly during network activity (transmit or receive).
n
The required software drivers have been pre-installed at the factory and there is no user
configuration required.
Gigabit Ethernet NIC with Fiber Optic Connections
The gigabit Ethernet NIC with fiber optic connections connects the MaxAttach NAS 6000
to a gigabit Ethernet network via a standard fiber interface. It is fully interoperable with
existing Ethernet equipment and operates at 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) in full-duplex
mode when connected to a gigabit Ethernet port.
