ET/GigFailover

Two Gigabit Ethernet Copper Ports, 10/100/1000 BaseT, with Hardware Failover/Bypass

The ET/GigFailover is built on Intel's Gigabit technology, and is optimized to support 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X bus based systems. The hardware Failover/Bypass function allows systems incorporating the ET/GigFailover to eliminate single point of failure concerns by bypassing the system in the event of a power down or software lockup or failure. Additional features allow a system with the ET/Gigfailover to be temporarily taken offline, allowing for safe upgrades or maintenance even from a remote location.

Features

• Intel's 82546EB controller
• Works with standard Em (FreeBSD) and e1000.o (LINUX) driver code.
