1-18 System Overview
Network Controller
NOTE:
To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the system must be
used with a shielded LAN cable.
The server board uses two Intel ® 82550PM Fast Ethernet Controllers and supports two 10Base-
T/100Base-TX network subsystems.
The 82550 PM controller supports the following features:

interface.
interface.
NIC Connector and Status LEDs
The 82550 controller drives LEDs on the network interface connector that indicate link/activity
on the LAN and 10- or 100-Mbps operation. The green LED indicates network connection when
lit and TX/RX activity when blinking. The yellow LED indicates 100-Mbps operation when lit.
