CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR®GA621 Fiber Gigabit Ethernet

Card.Designed especially for high-performance systems,such as servers and high-end

workstations,it offers 2 gigabits per second (Gbps) of aggregate bandwidth and opti-

mized performance while minimizing network overhead on the host system.This guide

describes the installation and use of the GA621 for operation within a Microsoft®

Windows®95OSR2,Windows®98,Windows®NT,Windows®2000,Windows®Me,

Novell®NetWare,or Red Hat®Linux environment.

This chapter provides information about the features of the GA621.It connects

your PCI-compliant server or workstation to a Gigabit Ethernet network, incorporat-

ing a new technology that transfers data at a rate of 1 Gbps or 1000 megabits per

second (Mbps) over 62.5/125 or 50/125 Micron multimode fiber with SC

connectors.

Benefits

Performance is optimized and network overhead on the host system is minimized

with the use of the GA621 Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card.

The GA621 has demonstrated interoperability with all major Gigabit Ethernet equip-

ment on the market that is compliant with IEEE 802.3z standards. In addition,

because the GA621 uses standard Ethernet frame and Media Access Control (MAC)

formats,

it provides full compatibility with Fast Ethernet network equipment through network

switches from a variety of vendors,including NETGEAR.

Features

The key features of the GA621 Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card are:

• Full-duplex operation (2,000 Mbps:1,000 Mbps each way) with DMA (Direct

Memory Access) Gigabit Ethernet interface (IEEE 802.3z)

introduction 1-2

• Duplex SC fiber connector for 62.5-micron or 50-micron multimode fiber cable

• Interoperability with existing Fast Ethernet equipment compliance with the

following standards and protocols:

– IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet

– IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet

• Standard Ethernet frame size (up to 1,518 bytes)

• Jumbo frames support

• 33/66 MHz,32/64-bit PCI bus master (Local Bus Revision 2.2 compliant)

with adaptive DMA channels

• Two independent DMA channels for simultaneous read and write operations;

as a bus master,the network card requests access to the PCI bus instead of

waiting to be polled

• Software driver support for Windows 95 OSR2,Windows 98,Windows NT,

Windows 2000,Windows Me,NetWare 4.2, 5.0,5.1, and Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1,

6.2,7.0 and 7.1.

• Universal dual-voltage signaling (3.3 V and 5 V)
