Chapter1Introduction to Hardware
Thank you for purchasing Rosewill’s RNG-407-Dual Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIE
Card. PCI Express is the next revolution in I/O interconnect standard that will deliver
the bandwidth and features required by PCs, consumer electronics and
communications devices. The architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin count, and
point-to-point technologies offering maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and design
complexity and enabling smaller form factors. This card is the best solution for
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express and the interface has a potential transfer rates of 2.5
Gbps using a single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link.
This card is a 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card, which is specifically
designed to plug into a desktop equipped with an available x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI
Express slot. It comes with a comprehensive of software drives for all desktop
operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
