NIC: Dell™ OptiPlex™ E1 Systems

The OptiPlex E1 system has an onboard Ethernet NIC subsystem.

The integrated 10/100-Mbps 3Com® PCI 3C905B-TX Ethernet NIC subsystem supports the

Wakeup On LAN

feature and the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX

standards. The NIC subsystem connects to the Ethernet network through a single RJ45 connector on the back of the computer. The RJ45 connector and the NIC
interface circuitry are mounted on the

system board

.

The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel has the following indicators:

l

A yellow activity indicator that flashes when the system is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this indicator
appear to be in a steady “on” state.)

l

A green link integrity indicator that lights up when there is a good connection between the network and the NIC. When the green indicator is off, the system is
not detecting a physical connection to the network.

See Chapter 4, "Using Integrated Devices," in the

Reference and Installation Guide

for information on configuring the NIC.
