1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The EXP-ETH8 is an Add-on Module conforming to the EPIC ExpressTM Specification.
It comprises eight independent 10/100/1000 Mb/s ports that can be easily connected to RJ45 sockets mounted
at the front of the module.
The state of link, speed and activity is show by two LEDs on every socket.
The EXP-ETH8 supports Stack-up and Stack-down to a CPU Module.
Furthermore the EXP-ETH8 uses the 5 Volt and 3.3 Volt power supplied from the PCI/104-Express connector.
All other voltages are generated on the board itself.
The EXP-ETH8 runs with Linux and Windows operation systems.
