2.22.4.2. Crystals and Oscillators
To minimize the effects of EMI, clock sources should not be placed near I/O ports or board edges.
Radiation from these devices may be coupled onto the I/O ports or out of the system chassis. Crystals
also should be kept away from the Ethernet magnetics module, to prevent communication interference.
The crystal’s retaining straps (if they exist) should be grounded to prevent possible radiation from the
crystal case, and the crystal should lie flat against the PC board to provide better coupling of the
electromagnetic fields to the board.
For noise-free and stable operation, place the crystal and associated discretes as close as possible to the
Intel 82562ET or Intel 82562EM component, keeping the trace length as short as possible. Do not route
any noisy signals in this area.
2.22.4.3. Intel® 82562ET / Intel® 82562EM Component Termination Resistors
The 120 Ω (1%) resistor used to terminate the differential transmit pairs (TDP/TDN) and the 100 Ω (1%)
receive differential pairs (RDP/RDN) should be placed as close as possible to the LAN connect
component (Intel 82562ET or Intel 82562EM component). The reason is that these resistors terminate the
entire impedance seen at the termination source (i.e., Intel 82562ET component), including the wire
impedance reflected through the transformer.

2.22.4.4. Critical Dimensions
As shown in Figure 73, two dimensions must be considered during layout: distance ‘B’ from the line
RJ45 connector to the magnetics module, and distance ‘A’ from the Intel 82562ET or Intel 82562EM
component to the magnetics module.
