5.2 Ethernet Connectors (IO Area)
The KTQ67 boards supports three channels of 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet, one (ETH1) is based on Intel® 
Lewisville 82579LM Gigabit PHY with AMT 8.0 support and the two other controllers (ETHER2 & 
ETHER3) are based on Intel® Hartwell 82574L PCI Express controller. 
 
In order to achieve the specified performance of the Ethernet port, minimum Category 5 twisted pair 
cables must be used with 10/100MB and minimum Category 5E, 6 or 6E with 1Gb LAN networks. 
 
The signals for the Ethernet ports are as follows:

Description
MDI[0]+ / MDI[0]-
In MDI mode, this is the first pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DA+/- pair, and is 
the transmit pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. 
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DB+/- pair, and is the receive 
pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. 
MDI[1]+ / MDI[1]-
In MDI mode, this is the second pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DB+/- pair, and 
is the receive pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. 
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the transmit 
pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. 
MDI[2]+ / MDI[2]-
In MDI mode, this is the third pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DC+/- pair. 
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DD+/- pair. 
MDI[3]+ / MDI[3]-
In MDI mode, this is the fourth pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DD+/- pair. 
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DC+/- pair. 
 
Note: MDI = Media Dependent Interface. 
 
Ethernet connector 1 (ETH1) is mounted together with USB Ports 4 and 5. 
Ethernet connector 2 (ETH2) is mounted together with and above Ethernet connector 3 (ETH3).
