LAN Subsystem
The LAN, with the Intel 82801GH I/O Controller Hub, provides a Fast PCI LAN
subsystem. The LAN subsystem provides the following functions:
• Intel 82573L Ethernet LAN supporting 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec
• Support for RJ-45 connector with status indicator LEDs
• Configurable EEPROM that contains the MAC address

RJ-45 LAN Connector LEDs
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector located on the back panel (see
Figure 2). These LEDs indicate the
status of the LAN.
