Installing the Sun GigabitEthernet
PCI Adapter
The Sun GigabitEthernet PCI adapter incorporates a new technology that transfers
data at a rate of one gigabit per second—10 times the rate of a fast Ethernet adapter.
The Sun GigabitEthernet PCI adapter targets the increased congestion experienced at
the backbone and server levels by today's networks, while providing a future
upgrade path for high-end workstations that require more bandwidth than fast
Ethernet can provide.
