Chapter 1 Introduction

The ENW-9606 is a 10/100/1000Mbps 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus
Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system application requirements. The
bus-master architecture provides very high data throughput as it runs in the 32-bit PCI bus of the
server’s mainboard rather than waiting on the CPU.

The ENW-9606 supports both current motherboards (32-bit/33MHz PCI) and also the new PCI interface
(32-bit/66MHz) and operating systems of the next generation, future-proofing your investment. Lower
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and with increased performance, the ENW-9606 is now the choice of
your network data server or just right for your powerful desktop PCs.
