10/100 PCI network adapter for managed desktops

The 3Com 3C905CX-TXM is a 32-bit PCI 2.1/2.2 card that delivers 10/100Mbps Ethernet through a single RJ45 port. It targets IT departments maintaining legacy workstations that require standards-based remote management and pre-boot network services.

Fits a 33 MHz PCI slot and frees a USB port

The adapter installs in any 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slot and draws no external power. It leaves USB ports available for peripherals while providing a dedicated wired link compatible with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x and 802.1p/Q networks.

Managed Boot Agent and RMON cut site visits

Bundled management firmware includes a Managed PC Boot Agent supporting PXE, BOOTP, TFTP and DHCP for diskless or imaged deployments. RMON-1 and RMON-2 monitoring plus remote alerts for physical removal or power failure let administrators diagnose faults without desk-side visits.

Questions about this item

What throughput ceiling appears first when the 10/100 Mbps link runs at full load?

The 100 Mbps Ethernet ceiling limits sustained throughput before the 32-bit 33 MHz PCI bus saturates.

How much heat or noise does the adapter add when it runs all day in a server?

The card has no fan and draws power only from the PCI slot, so it adds negligible heat and no audible noise.

Which operating system must the host already run for the supplied drivers to work?

Supported drivers include Linux 2.2/2.4, Windows XP/2000/Me/98/NT 4.0 and Novell NetWare 5.x.
