Ethernet Connectors (LAN1 – J4 and LAN2 – J5) 6.4
Two channels of 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet based on Intel® Pearsonville i211AT PCI Express controllers are
available.
In order to achieve the specified performance of the Ethernet port, Category 5 twisted pair cables must be
used with 10/100MB and Category 5E, 6 or 6E with 1Gb LAN networks.
The signals for the Ethernet ports are as follows:
Signal 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.
The pinout of the RJ45 connectors is as follows:
