IDE Ports
The IDE host adapter is capable of UDMA-133*/100*/66*/33 operation. The implementation of this
subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the ETX®
Design Guide. Refer to those documents for additional information.
Note: *For UDMA-133/100/66 operation please follow the System Guidelines for ULTRA DMA of the ATA-
Specification. The ETX®-concept in combination with peripheral devices (cable, connectors, base board
layout...) can worse the transmission quality so that it is necessarily to decrease the UDMA-Mode to values
below 3.
Configuration:
Primary and secondary IDE host adapters are PCI bus devices. They are configured by the BIOS during PCI
device configuration. You can disable them in setup. Resources used by the primary and secondary IDE
host adapters are compatible with the PC/AT.
Ethernet
The Ethernet interface is based on the VIA® VT6103L Fast Ethernet PCI controller. This 32-bit PCI
controller is a fully integrated 10/100BASE-TX LAN solution.
The Ethernet interface requires an external transformer. See the ETX® Design Guide for suggestions on
transformer selection.
Configuration:
The Ethernet interface is a PCI device. The BIOS setup automatically configures it during configuration of
the PCI device.
Note: Implementation and limitation information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the
documentation for additional information.
Ethernet LEDs
The behavior of the Ethernet LED is as follows:
< Rev. 5.0.0
- ACTLED: on when link, blinking when activity, off when no link
- LILED: no function, always out
= > Rev. 5.0.0
- ACTLED: blinking when activity, on when no link
- LILED: on when link, off when no link
