Introduction

Thank you for choosing the 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card

for PCI-Bus equipped personal computers. The 1000Mbps

Gigabit Ethernet Card is ideal for speeding up data transfers

for network servers and other computers, such as those used

for video-conferencing, that send and/or receive large

amounts of data. The 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card also

includes the newest networking technologies, such as VLAN

and multicasting support, that use network bandwidth more

efficiently and further help the card maximize data

throughput.

System Requirements

The host computer or server using the 1000Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet Card needs to meet the following minimum

requirements:

• Processor – Pentium-class CPU or higher

• Memory – 32MB RAM (Linux only), all other NOSs

require 64 MB RAM

• PCI slot – 32- or 64-bit PCI Local Bus Slot Rev. 2.1 or

later (please refer to the motherboard User’s Guide)

• BIOS – Latest BIOS (Contact the PC manufacturer or

BIOS manufacturer’s website to verify)

• Network connection – an IEEE 802.3z-compliant

gigabit switch, modular switch port or buffered repeater

• Operating System – One of the following:

Windows 95 (OSR2)

Windows 98

Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)

Windows NT 2000

Linux OS Kernel v2.0/2.2

Novell Netware v3.12, Support Pack 312PTD

Novell Netware v3.2

Novell Netware v4.11, Support Pack 5

Novell Netware v4.2

Novell Netware v5.0

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

standard, utilizing the same packet structure, format, and

support for the standard Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol. It also

supports the same full duplex specifications, and

management objects, but with a tenfold increase in

theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a

one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is

compatible with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet

environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward

upgrade without wasting a company’s existing investment in

hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit

Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks

that frequently develop as computers and their busses get

faster and more users use applications that generate more

traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone

and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network

response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic

between your subnets.

Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to

support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar

data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers

occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted

with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the

number of operations in the same amount of time.

In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit

Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage

of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and

routing internetworking technologies. And with expected

advances in the coming years in silicon technology and

digital signal processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to

eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)

cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000Mbps-

capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible

foundation for the next generation of network technology

products.

The 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card

Speed

The 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card transmits and receives

data at one gigabit per second (1Gbps or 1000Mbps). Its full-

duplex (only) operation mode enables it to transmit and

receive data simultaneously, effectively doubling the amount

of data being handled and giving it an actual throughput of

2Gbps. This huge data pipeline can be used to connect highly

active or bandwidth-hogging computers and servers directly

to your network either through a switch port on your

backbone, or through a departmental switch. The 1000Mbps

Gigabit Ethernet Card also includes very large (96 KB) data

buffers designed to significantly increase network

performance by virtually eliminating buffer overruns.

PCI Interface

The 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card attaches to the host

computer via the fast and efficient PCI bus. The host PCI slot

can be either 32- or 64-bit, and should be compliant with PCI

v2.1 or later. Make sure the host computer has a 64-bit PCI

bus in order to take advantage of the full-duplex speed

enhancement, otherwise, even though your connection will be

full-duplex, the traffic bottleneck at the PCI interface will

only allow half-duplex equivalent speeds.

In addition, the 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card uses the

following advanced features to maximize the utilization of

the PCI bus and reduce overhead on the system CPU:

 Bus Master technology - the NIC masters the PCI bus,

freeing the CPU from PCI bus management duties.

 Direct Memory Access (DMA) – enables the NIC to

write directly to the system memory, freeing the CPU

from many memory management duties.

 Burst transfers – full bandwidth packet bursting across

the PCI bus increases the throughput for small packets

by coalescing transfers.

 Memory buffers - Dual transmit and receive FIFO

buffers allow for simultaneous reading and writing of

data.

VLAN

The 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card supports IEEE 802.1Q

VLAN tagging and filtering at the chip level, and works with

any IEEE 802.1Q-compliant switch. The IEEE 802.1Q

standard describes a methodology by which packets of data

going through networking devices can be inserted with, or

stripped of, VLAN identification information. VLANs can

increase the efficiency, reliability and provide extra security

for your network.

Product Features

Designed for versatility and performance, the adapter

provides the following features:

• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX

Gigabit Ethernet standards and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

standards.

• Plug-and-Play installation.

• Maximum 1Gbps (1000Mbps) transmit and 1Gbps

receive for a total of 2Gbps data throughput.

• Full-duplex operation only.

• PCI v2.2 compliant.
