Identical to the 2MB flash card used in early PIXes.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li><ul><li><i>PEP upgrade card</i> - 4MB ISA flash upgrade card for the LD 416/430, so named because it, like all of the flash cards used in the PIX/LocalDirector/SSG6510 devices, was manufactured by Productivity Enhancement Products, or PEP. Uses two AMD AM29F016D chips for flash memory, and the BIOS resides on an AMD AM29F010b chip. Description printed on the card itself indicates that it was designed as a 16MB flash card, but six of the eight possible locations silkscreened on the PCB for the 29F016D chips are not populated. It is not comparable to any card used in the PIX, nor does the PIX OS recognize its flash chips. Mentioned in the 3.2 release notes <a href="http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/localdir/ld32rns/ldrnv32/ldrnv323.htm">[1]</a>.</li></ul></li> <li>Network interface cards <ul><li><i>LD-FDDI</i> - 32 bit/33 MHz dual port PCI FDDI card based on the Interphase 5511 <a href="/facts/FDDI/nowmb0ue">FDDI</a> card (PB05511-002).</li> <li><i>LD-FE</i> - 32 bit/33 MHz single port 10/100 Fast Ethernet card. Based variously on the Intel 82557, 82558, or 82559 chipsets.</li> <li><i>LD-GE</i> - PCI Gigabit Ethernet (<a href="/facts/1000BASE-SX/1ItIoV2w">1000BASE-SX</a>) PCI card. Based on the Intel 82542 chipset. Does not support autonegotiation of speed or duplex. Identical to the PIX expansion card, the PIX-1GE. Mentioned in the version 3.2.1 installation guide <a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/contnetw/ps1894/prod_release_note09186a008007ef41.html">[2]</a>.</li> <li><i>LD-QUADFE</i> - 32 bit/33 MHz Four port 10/100 Fast Ethernet card. This Osicom-manufactured PCI card came in two varieties. The two kinds can be differentiated visually: when installed in the chassis, the Digital-based card's link speed/activity lights (one amber and one green) are on the left side of the RJ-45 jack, and the Intel card's link speed/activity lights (both green) are on the right side of the RJ-45 jack. <ul><li>One version, identified by the OS as an rns23x0 card, was based on the Digital 21140/21152 chipset, and it did not support autonegotiation of speed or duplex; the part numbers on the card were 2340, 123400-21 and SC401234-25T.</li> <li>The other version, identified by the OS as an i82557 card, was based on the Intel 82558 chipset and was identical to the Cisco PIX expansion card, the PIX-4FE; the part numbers on the card were 124040-01 and either SC402404-25T or SC402404-01T.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a></li></ul></li> <li><i>NI-2FE</i> - PCI dual-port 10/100baseTX Ethernet card.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a></li></ul></li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Cisco_Systems/ocDgQt6T">Cisco Systems</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Cisco_PIX/BDPGNEEb">Cisco PIX</a></li></ul> <h2 id="citations">Citations</h2> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/localdir/">LocalDirector documentation</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/localdir/12615rln.htm">Release notes for LocalDirector 417/417G</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps1894/prod_eol_notice09186a008032d522.html">End of sale notice with part numbers of interface cards</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Cisco's End of Life notice for the LocalDirector".
