I got an upgrade kit to convert one of our 5000/200s to a 240.  In the
instructions they tell you to remove the ESAR chip (located in a socket on the
motherboard) from the 200 and put it into the 240.  'Course there already was an
ESAR chip in the 240 motherboard as shipped. . . but that's another story.  The
physical chip (a 16 pin DIP) is labled "ENET ADRS".

So what is it, and why whould you change it out?
