The NIC supports standard Ethernet minimum and maximum frame sizes (64 to 1518
bytes), frame format, and IEEE 802.2 LLC specifications. The underlying NIC technology
ensures high performance and maximum bandwidth availability to prevent server
congestion and complies with the IEEE 802.3z full-duplex gigabit Ethernet fiber interface
standard and with the IEEE 802.3x frame-based flow control standard.
Figure #35 Gigabit Ethernet NIC with Fiber Optic Connections Status LEDs
The gigabit Ethernet NIC with fiber optic connections connects to the network via
standard SC/MMF cabling. Compliant cabling types and maximum transmission distances
are shown in the table below.:
Two status LEDs are located above the cable connector on the MaxAttach NAS 6000 back
panel. They indicate the link status as follows:

Two status LEDs are located above the cable connector on the
MaxAttach NAS 6000 back panel. They indicate the link status as
follows:
Data LED
- ON or FLASHING: NIC is detecting network data. The frequency of
the flashes varies with the amount of network traffic.
- OFF: No connection between the NIC and the switch.
Link LED
- ON: Connection between the NIC and the switch is established.
- FLASHING: Software has disabled the port.
