#2838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA (PCI or SPD)
The #2838/#9738 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA provides attachment to standard 100 Mbps high-speed Ethernet LANs
and allows attachment to existing 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half
or further duplex mode. The adapter comes standard with an RJ45 connector for attachment to UTP-5 media #9738 is a
base LAN adapter. Cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3 or CAT-5, cabling for 100 Mbps must be CAT-5 that meets or
exceeds Industry Standard EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. The maximum cable length is 100 meters.
Prerequisite: #2809 PCI LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP, #2824 PCI Feature Controller, #2854 PCI Integrated PC Server or
#2865 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server (when located in PCI slot); #2810 LAN/WAN IOP, #6617 Integrated PC Server or
#6618 Integrated Netfinity Server (when located in an SPD slot)
SPD slots required: One with #2810; three with #6617 or #6618
High-speed PCI slots required: One
