Product Description 1.11 LAN Subsystem (Optional) The Network Interface Controller subsystem consists of the ICH2 (with integrated LAN Media Access Controller) and a physical layer interface device. Features of the LAN subsystem include: • PCI Bus Master interface • CSMA/CD Protocol Engine • Serial CSMA/CD unit interface that supports the 82562ET (10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet) on the CNR bus • PCI Power Management Supports ACPI technology Supports LAN wake capabilities 1.11.1 Intel® 82562ET Platform LAN Connect Device The Intel 82562ET component provides an interface to the back panel RJ-45 connector with integrated LEDs. This physical interface may alternately be provided through the CNR connector. The Intel 82562ET provides the following functions: • Basic 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity • Supports RJ-45 connector with status indicator LEDs on the back panel • Full device driver compatibility • ACPI support • Programmable transit threshold • Configuration EEPROM that contains the MAC address 1.11.2 RJ-45 LAN Connector with Integrated LEDs Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector. Table 7 describes the LED states when the board is powered up and the LAN subsystem is operating. Table 7. LAN Connector LED States LED Color LED State Condition Green Off 10 Mbit/sec data rate is selected. On 100 Mbit/sec data rate is selected. Yellow Off LAN link is not established. On (steady state) LAN link is established. On (brighter and pulsing) The computer is communicating with another computer on the LAN. 35
