How does the 2 ethernet ports work in the crosshair 2 mb?

Question

I was wondering how this feature would work. I tried looking all over the net and all i can find is reviews which aint good at all. Also if i could get mroe info on this mb on how to use this mb it would be greatly apreciated.

Answer 1

I think your talking about the AI NET2 feature. The web site says this: "AI NET2 will report all Ethernet cable faults and shorts. During the boot-up process, AI NET2 will check the cable's condition and report back all problems found." What that means is there is a diagnostic chip built on the motherboard that will tell you if something is wrong with the cable. My Gigabyte motherboard has a feature that is similar to that. For example, mine will say "OPEN PIN 3 at 3M" meaning my cable is broken 3 meters down the line.

Hope that helps.
