What type of expansion slot is compatible with nic?
A network interface card can be connected to a standard PCI slot or PCI-E slot. The choice of what slot to use is up to the person building the system and also based on what expansion slot is unused.
Which device operate data link layer?
The Network Interface cards
Where do the NICs belong?
Network Interface Cards (NICs) belong inside a computer or network device, typically in one of the expansion slots on the motherboard or integrated directly onto the motherboard. They are used to connect the device to a network, allowing data transmission over wired or wireless connections.
Which two types of adapter cards will fit in a PCI slot?
Two types of adapter cards that will fit in a PCI slot are network interface cards (NICs) and sound cards. Network interface cards are used to connect a computer to a network, while sound cards enhance audio processing capabilities. Both types of cards can be installed in standard PCI slots on a motherboard, providing additional functionality to the system.
Which componets operate at the physical layer?
The network interface cards (NICs) connectors cables
What is specialized network interface card?
A specialized network interface card that performs additional functions in addition to creating the interface that goes in between cables. For example, WAN has these cards and it not only creates its own connections but also allows connection to a much larger network.
Is it possible to have two network interface Cards in a device and its use?
