The LAN subsystem includes:
• Intel
®
ICH10
• Intel 82567V Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) Ethernet LAN controller
• RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs
The subsystem features:
• CSMA/CD protocol engine
• LAN connect interface between ICH10 and the controller
• PCI Express power management
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector located on the back panel (see
Figure 2). These LEDs indicate the operating states of the LAN.
