2.4.14 Network Interface Controller (NIC)
The Intel
®
server boards that use this chipset supports two 10Base-T / 100Base / 1000Base-T
network interface controllers (NIC) based on the Intel
®
82563EB controller. The Intel
®
workstation boards that use this chipset support one 10Base-T / 100Base / 1000Base-T
network interface controller (NIC) based on the Intel
®
82564EB controller.
Each network interface controller (NIC) drives two LED’s located on each network interface
connector. The link/activity LED (to the left of the connector) indicates network connection when
on, and Transmit/Receive activity when blinking. The speed LED (to the right of the connector)
indicates 1000-Mbps operation when amber, 100-Mbps operation when green, and 10 Mbps
when off. The table below provides an overview of the LED’s.
