10.3 Hardware Specifications
The following section provides information about FM-POE main components and features.
10.3.1 Intel I211AT GbE Controller
Intel Ethernet I211 controller is a single port, compact, low power component that supports GbE designs.
The I211 offers a fully-integrated GbE Media Access Control (MAC), Physical Layer (PHY) port and supports
PCI Express 2.1 (5GT/s). The I211 enables 1000BASE-T implementations using an integrated PHY. It can be
used for server system configurations such as rack mounted or pedestal servers, in an add-on NIC or LAN
on Motherboard (LOM) design. Another possible system configuration is for blade servers as a LOM or
mezzanine card. It can also be used in embedded applications such as switch add-on cards and network
appliances.
One independent interface is used to connect the I211 port to external devices. The following protocol is
supported: MDI (copper) support for standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX,
and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab).
