Chapter 6 PCI Bus Ethernet Interface
6.1 Introduction
The board is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet chipset
which is fully compliant with 802.3u 100BASE-T or 802.3z/ab
1000BASE-T. It is supported by major network operating systems. It is
also both 100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible. The Ethernet port pro-
vides a standard RJ-45 jack. The network boot feature can be utilized by
incorporating the boot ROM image files for the appropriate network
operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files are combined with system
BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS setup.
