Common Key features: Host Interface standard support: • PCI v2.2 32/64 bit 33/66Mhz • High performance reliability and low power use in Intel 82546 dual integrated MAC + PHY / SERDES chip controller • Ultra deep 64 KB packet buffer per channel lowers CPU utilization avoids PCI-X congestion • Hardware acceleration that can offload tasks from the host processor. The controllers can offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation • Server class reliability availability and performance features: • Link Aggregation and Load Balancing: • • Switch dependent: 802.3ad (LACP) Generic Trunking ( GEC / FEC) • Switch and NIC Independent • Failover Priority queuing – 802.1p layer 2 priority encoding • Virtual LANs –802.1q VLAN tagging • Jumbo Frame (16KB) • 802.x flow control • Boot ROM embedded or optional can be used for Boot ROM applications • PCI Power Management Interface. (v1.1) • PCI Hot Plug. (IBM Compaq Dell and Microsoft) • Statistics for SNMP MIB II Ethernet like MIB and Ethernet MIB (802.3z Clause 30) • LEDs indicators for link/Activity/Speed status Copper Gigabit Ethernet Technical Specifications - (1000Baes-T) Adapters: IEEE Standard / Network topology: Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX Ethernet 10Base-T Full duplex / Simplex: Support both Simplex & Full duplex operation in all operating speeds Auto negotiation: Auto-negotiation between Full duplex and simplex operations and between 10Mb/s 100Mb/s speeds and duplex 1000Mb/s Data Transfer Rate: 1000 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s and 10 Mbits/sec in simplex mode per port. 2000Mbit/s 200 and 20 Mbit/s in full duplex mode per port Cables and Operating distance: 10Base-T Category 3 4 or 5 maximum 100m 100Base-Tx Category 5 maximum 100m 1000Base-T Category 5E maximum 100m Operating Systems Support Operating system support: Windows Netware Linux FreeBSD Unix Solaris VMware General Technical Specifications Interface Standard: PCI v2.2 32/64 bit 33/66Mhz PCI Card Type: Universal 64 bit Card Controller: : Intel : 82546GB
