1.13 LAN Subsystem
The network interface controller subsystem consists of the ICH4 with integrated LAN Media
Access Controller (MAC) and a physical layer interface device. Features of the LAN subsystem
include:
• PCI bus master interface
• CSMA/CD protocol engine
• Serial CSMA/CD unit interface that supports the 82562ET (10/100 Mbits/sec Ethernet)
• PCI power management
Supports ACPI technology
Supports LAN wake capabilities

®
82562ET Physical Layer Interface Device
The Intel 82562ET component provides an interface to the back panel RJ-45 connector with
integrated LEDs.
The Intel 82562ET provides the following functions:
• Basic 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity
• Supports RJ-45 connector with status indicator LEDs on the back panel
• Full device driver compatibility
• ACPI support
• Programmable transit threshold
• Configuration EEPROM that contains the MAC address
1.13.2 RJ-45 LAN Connector with Integrated LEDs
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector (shown in Figure 7 below).
