The 3C985B-SX server NIC connects a PCI-compliant server
computer to a Gigabit Ethernet network. It is fully interoperable with existing
Ethernet equipment and operates at 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) in full-duplex
mode when connected to a Gigabit Ethernet port.
The NIC is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit PCI bus
standards and supports standard Ethernet minimum and maximum frame sizes (64 to
1518 bytes), frame format, and IEEE 802.2 LLC specifications.
Powerful DynamicAccess® technology ensures high
performance and maximum bandwidth availability to relieve server congestion.
