3Com's Gigabit Etherlink Server network interface card delivers high performing Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for servers. The Etherlink is a full duplex 64/32-bit NIC that relieves server congestion and brings greater bandwidth to high-end servers. It utilizes one PCI slot, cable link and switch or hub port. It includes an on-board processor to offload some networking tasks from the host CPU, ensuring high application performance. ??The Gigabit Etherlink NIC enables simple, scalable, network migration. It operates in existing 32-bit PCI slots as well as upcoming 64-bit PCI slots. It provides the benefit of Gigabit with the familiarity of Ethernet. The card is Fast IP-enabled. Fast IP is a DynamicAccess software feature that enables the card to overcome routing bottlenecks and deliver performance up to 1000Mbps. 3Com guarantees the Etherlink will be interoperable with the final IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard. The card has 256K on-board SRAM and features LEDs to report data a...
