SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATIONS
1. 82546GB Ports Can be Disabled Individually
Clarification:
The 82546GB allows ports to be disabled individually. However, if only one port is disabled (using the LAN
disable feature) while the other port is left operational, care must be taken to ensure that the SMBus feature is
NOT enabled on the disabled port. If the SMBus is left enabled on a disabled port the 82546GB may prevent
the system from booting.
