GL815E Endura Motherboard Product ManualPage 17 of 512.6 NetworkThe GL815E supports an optional 10/100 Ethernet controller based around the controller integratedwithin the chipset and an Intel GD82562ET transceiver. An RJ45 connector located on the rearpanel integrates two LED indicators to provide link status information. The list below describes thefeatures provided.• IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 100Base-TX compatible• 32-bit bus-mastering PCI device• Jumper-less configuration• RJ45 with two integral LEDs showing line activity, link integrity and line speedThe operation of the two indicators is described in the table below.LED color LED state IndicatesOff 10Mbps link speedGreenOn 100Mbps link speedOff No link is establishedSteady on Link is established but there is no communication activityYellowBlinking Link is established and communication activity is detected2.7 IDE DrivesTwo independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces are provided, each supporting ATA modes up toUltraATA/100. The following drive types are supported.• ATA hard disks up to UltraATA/100 speeds• ATAPI devices such as CD-ROMs• LS120 drivesThe BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended CHS translation modes for harddisks. When booting from LS120 drives, the correct mode (floppy or hard disk) must be chosen inSetup. The BIOS supports both automatic and manual determination of ATA cable type (80 - or 40-pin) to support UltraATA/66 or ATA/100 drives.2.8 Diskette DrivesThe diskette drive interface supports a maximum of two drives. The drives should be 2- or 3-mode3.5-inch devices supporting 720kB, 1.2MB or 1.44MB formats. The controller is located at I/Oaddresses 3F0-3F7h and uses IRQ6.2.9 Standard PC I/OThe standard PC I/O functions serial ports, parallel ports, keyboard and mouse ports and diskettedrive controller are provided via a National Semiconductor PC87366 Super I/O (SIO) deviceattached to the low pin count (LPC) bus from the chipset ICH2. In addition, this device providessystem monitoring and fan control functions and general-purpose I/O lines.
