Intel® Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV, and S5520HCT TPS Functional Architecture 3.12 Network Interface Controller (NIC) The Intel® Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT provide dual onboard LAN ports with support for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation. The two LAN ports are based on the onboard Intel® 82575EB controller, which is a single, compact component with two, fullyintegrated GbE Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) ports. The Intel® 82575EB controller provides a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab) and is capable of transmitting and receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. Each network interface controller (NIC) port provides two LEDs: Link/activity LED (at the left of the connector): Indicates network connection when on, and transmit/receive activity when blinking. The speed LED (at the right of the connector) indicates 1000-Mbps operation when amber; 100-Mbps operation when green; and 10-Mbps when off. The following table provides an overview of the LEDs. Table 15. Onboard NIC Status LED LED Color Green (Left) Off/Green/Amber (Right) On Blinking Off Green Amber LED State NIC State Active Connection Transmit/Receive activity 10 Mbps 100 Mbps 1000 Mbps 3.12.1 MAC Address Definition Each Intel® Server Board S5520HC or S5500HCV has the following four MAC addresses assigned to it at the Intel factory. • NIC 1 MAC address • NIC 2 MAC address - is assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +1 • BMC LAN Channel MAC address - is assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +2 • Intel® Remote Management Module 3 (Intel® RMM3) MAC address - is assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +3 During the manufacturing process, each server board has a white MAC address sticker placed on the top of the NIC 1 port.
