bootix ::: Supported Network Adapters ::: Abbreviations

PXE v1
The BootManage^® PXE PROM for this network adapter / chipset is compatible with the PXE specification version 1. At this time, there is no PXE v2 code available for this adapter / chipset.

PXE v2
The BootManage^® PXE PROM for this network adapter / chipset is compatible with the PXE specification version 2.

DIL28
The adapter is equipped with an empty DIL-28 socket, so the BOOT-PROM code ships in a matching DIL-28 chip. DIL (Dual-In-Line) chips are also known as DIP (Dual Inline Package) chips, both terms are synonymous. A DIL-28 chip has two rows of 14 pins each.

DIL32
The adapter is equipped with an empty DIL-32 socket, so the BOOT-PROM code ships in a matching DIL-32 chip. DIL (Dual-In-Line) chips are also known as DIP (Dual Inline Package) chips, both terms are synonymous. A DIL-32 chip has two rows of 16 pins each.

PLCC32
The adapter is equipped with an empty PLCC-32 socket, so the BOOT-PROM code ships in a matching PLCC-32 chip. A PLCC-32 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) chip has approximately the size of a thumbnail, is almost square, and has electrical contacts on all four sides.

FOB
The adapter is equipped with a Flash-On-Board, i.e. with a FLASH chip that is directly soldered to the adapter board. As there is no socket used, the FLASH chip cannot be physically removed or exchanged. For such adapters, the BOOT-PROM code ships on a diskette, together with a programming utility and a license counting mechanism.
