Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual could result
in personal injury or damage to the equipment.

The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Motorola is aware. You, as the
user of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe operation of
the equipment in your operating environment.

Ground the Instrument.

To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground. If the
equipment is supplied with a three-conductor AC power cable, the power cable must be plugged into an approved
three-contact electrical outlet, with the grounding wire (green/yellow) reliably connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards and local electrical regulatory codes.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Do not operate the equipment in any explosive atmosphere such as in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment could result in an explosion and cause injury or damage.

Keep Away From Live Circuits Inside the Equipment.

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified service personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement or any
internal adjustment. Service personnel should not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, such personnel
should always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching components.

Use Caution When Exposing or Handling a CRT.

Breakage of a Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent
CRT implosion, do not handle the CRT and avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling of a CRT
should be done only by qualified service personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.

Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment. Contact your local
Motorola representative for service and repair to ensure that all safety features are maintained.

General Description

The Gigabit Ethernet 82543 PCI mezzanine card (PMC), shown in Figure

1-1 on page 1-2, is a network interface card (NIC) that provides a direct

interface to the local 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus. Gigabit Ethernet technology
allows the PMC to use a single connector for 10 megabits per second (10­Mb/s), 100 megabits per second (100-Mb/s), or 1000 megabits per second
(1000-Mb/s) Ethernet network connection (Institute for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3).

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Base-T) is a technology that can be integrated into
current 10 and 100 Base-T local area networks (LANs) and allow them to
upgrade easily to 1000 Mb/s. Gigabit Ethernet provides higher bandwidth
without a major change in infrastructure and is supported on major
platforms. It delivers an excellent business solution to increasing
requirements for bandwidth on a LAN.

Gigabit Ethernet technology offers the following advantages:

❏ High performance
❏ Standards-based technology
❏ Cost-effective migration
❏ Growing vendor support

1-2 Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Installation and Use

High Performance

In workgroup environments, Gigabit Ethernet can handle combined
demands of multiple LAN users and the peak traffic created by high­performance PCs and sophisticated applications that require significant
bandwidth.

Standards-Based Technology

The standard for Gigabit Ethernet technology is set by the IEEE 802.3
Committee, the same committee that developed the original Ethernet
standard and the Fast Ethernet standard. This technology is a simple
extension of 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet uses the Carrier
Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, defined
in the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) layer.

The 1000 Base-T MAC is a scaled up version of the MAC used in 10 and
100 Mb/s Ethernet. In other words, 1000Base-T is conventional Ethernet,
only faster. It is reliable, robust, and economical. Additionally, the
technologies can be offered with shared or switched Ethernet connections.
Shared environments provide a total of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s to all
stations attached to a hub. They are ideal for a medium-size workgroup
with occasional peak bandwidth demands. Shared Ethernet delivers the
bandwidth economically.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Cost-Effective Migration

The seamless compatibility between 10/100/1000 Base-T and prior
Ethernet implementations allows easy migration to high-speed
connections because of:

❏ LAN cabling

10/100/1000 Base-Tx Ethernet can run on the most common
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Ethernet wiring: 1000 BaseTx (1000
Mb/s) on Category 5e cabling, 100 BaseTx (100 Mb/s) on Category 5
cabling, and 10 BaseTx (10 Mb/s) on Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling.

❏ Administrative expertise

Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Installation and Use 1-3

1

System Enclosure

Managers can rely on familiar network analysis tools and procedures
in 10/100/1000 Base-T environments. Administrative information
translates easily from prior Ethernet implementations to 10/100/1000
Ethernet networks, which means minimal retraining of Management
Information Service (MIS) support staff. Administrators and system
integrators already know the technology, cabling, protocols, and
software.

❏ Management software

You can manage 10/100/1000 Ethernet LANs with existing Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management application
software and Ethernet management information bases (MIBs).

❏ Software support

Application and networking software functions unchanged on
10/100/1000 Base-T LANs.

❏ Flexible migration

Automatic speed selection, where controllers can run at 10, 100, or
1000 Mb/s on existing wire, ensures non disruptive transition to
Gigabit Ethernet. Similarly, 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet switching
hubs enable smooth migration to Gigabit Ethernet in the wiring closet.

V e ndor Support

Gigabit Ethernet has the support of a growing number of vendors of
network controllers, network systems, and systems. Extensive multi­vendor support ensures the development of a wide range of interoperable
products.

System Enclosure

The type of system enclosure you use is determined by the configuration
and architecture of the host board (either SBC or carrier card). In some
cases, the host board and Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module assembly
requires only a single slot in the chassis. A customized chassis may

1-4 Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Installation and Use

accommodate a slightly wider board assembly into each slot. For more
information refer to the PMC specification, as referenced in Appendix C,

Related Documents.

Guidelines for Unpacking

If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s
agent be present during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment.

When unpacking, avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static
discharge can damage circuits.

Caution

Refer to the packing list and verify that all items are present. Save the
packing material for storing and reshipping of equipment.

Installation Preliminaries

Guidelines for Unpacking

1

Boards may be damaged if improperly installed or handled. Please read
and follow the guidelines in this section to protect your equipment.

This section applies to all hardware installations you may perform that
involve the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module and host board. If the
host board is a hot-swap module, you can install it or remove it without
shutting down the operating system or removing system power. Replacing
a hot-swap module can be accomplished in under five minutes. For more
information about hot swap concepts and the PCI Industrial Computer
Manufacturer’s Group Hot Swap Specification (PICMG 2.1 R2.0), refer to
the sources listed in Appendix C, Related Documents.

Use ESD

Wrist Strap

Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Installation and Use 1-5

Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components, such as disk drives, computer boards and memory modules,
can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After
removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system,
