Chapter 7 PCI Bus Ethernet Interface
7.1 Introduction
The PCM-9372 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet chipset which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by major network operating systems. It is also both 100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible. The medium type can be con- figured via the RSET8139.exe program included on the utility disk. The network boot feature can be utilized by incorporating the boot ROM image files for the appropriate network operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files are combined with system BIOS, which can be enabled/dis- abled in the BIOS setup.
