LAN Subsystem
The LAN subsystem consists of the following:
• Intel NM10 Express Chipset
• Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet LAN
connectivity
• RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs
Additional features of the LAN subsystem include:
• CSMA/CD protocol engine
• LAN connect interface that supports the Ethernet controller
• Conventional PCI bus power management
⎯ Supports ACPI technology
⎯ Supports LAN wake capabilities
LAN drivers are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site at

.
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector located on the back panel (see
Figure 3). These LEDs indicate the operating states of the LAN.
