Learn about the specifications and LEDs for the dual port gigabit
Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter.
The dual port gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter is a high-performance,
highly integrated, universal, Ethernet LAN adapter for PCI-X and PCI systems.
The adapter presents one electrical load but appears as two independent devices
to software. The adapter provides 1000 Mbps throughput on a standard shortwave
(850nm) 50/62.5 micron multimode optical cable and conforms to the IEEE 802.3z
standard and supports distances of 260m for 62.5u MMF and 550m for 50.0u MMF.
