LAN Subsystem (Optional)

The optional 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

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

NOTE

The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3 V AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.

AGP is a high-performance interface for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D graphics. AGP is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices.
