HP Enhanced Ethernet Network Board
The HP Enhanced Ethernet Network Board is supplied on some models of
the HP Vectra VL 5/xxx Series 5 PC. It is based on the AMD PCnet-PCI-II
79C970 network processor chip.
On desktop models, it is installed in a dedicated PCI accessory slot
underneath the internal, hard disk drive, rear-shelf, plugged into the PCI
Junior slot that is situated on the rear of the double-sided backplane board.
This controller is fully compliant with the 10-BaseT, 10 Mbits per second,
ISO 8802-3 (IEEE/ANSI 802.3) standard. There is a socket to support an
Option ROM of up to 32 KB. On the rear panel there is an RJ-45 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) connector, whose pin-out is shown in the diagram on
page 62.
