Intel Desktop Board D845GVFN Product Guide

LAN Subsystem

The Intel 82562ET (with the Intel 82801DB ICH4) provides a Fast PCI LAN subsystem providing both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connectivity. The Intel 82562ET provides the following functions:

•Basic 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity

•Support for RJ-45 connector with status indicator LEDs

•Programmable transit threshold

•Configurable EEPROM that contains the MAC address

LAN Subsystem Software

RJ-45 LAN Connector LEDs

Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector. Table 5 describes the LED states when the desktop board is powered up and the LAN subsystem is operating.

Table 5.	RJ-45 LAN Connector LEDs
LED Color		LED State	Indicates
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.

Enhanced IDE Interface

The ICH4’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip* drives inside the computer. The interface supports:

•Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives)

•ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives)

•Older PIO Mode devices

•Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols

•Laser Servo (LS-120) drives

Expansion Slots

Desktop Board D845GVFN has three PCI bus add-in card connectors.
