10Gb Ethernet-LR PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter

The IBM 10Gb Ethernet-LR PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter is designed to provide a PCI-X based server connection. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard and supports Jumbo frames.

Gigabit EF Dual Port Server Adapter

The FRU part numbers for the adapter are:

• Adapter, 03N4588 (Designed to comply with RoHS requirement.)

• Wrap plug, 12R6249

The adapter provides the following features:

• Single-slot, short form factor, 6.6 by 4.2 inch, half-length PCI cards

• 64 bit Direct Bus Mastering on the PCI-X bus

• Dual Address Cycle for access to 64 bit addresses

• PCI-X split transactions

• DMA engine for movement of command, status, and network data across PCI-X

• 240 KB on-chip TX packet buffer

• 32 MB on-chip RX packet buffer

• 1 MB Boot flash ROM

• Jumbo frames (9 KB)

• Interrupts coalescing

• 802.1q VLAN tagging and stripping (IBM® System i® models do not support VLANs)

• Conforms to IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard

To install the adapter, ensure that you have access to the following items:

• The 10 Gb Ethernet-LR PCI-X 2.0 DDR adapter

• The operating system documentation

• The system unit documentation

• The PCI adapter placement information for the system unit

• Wrap plug

• A flat-blade screwdriver

• AIX 5L™ Base Operating System CD, which includes the device driver, or the AIX 5L device driver CD-ROM

How to connect the adapter to the multimode fiber network? See your local procedures for information about connecting the adapter to your Ethernet network.

Note: Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter at one time.

To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following steps:

1. Insert the male fiber SC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter SC connector.

2. Insert the male fiber SC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.

Note: It is necessary to configure an IP network interface to enable the adapter to detect link and illuminate the LINK LED.

The LEDs on the adapter provide information about the operation status of the adapter. The LEDs are visible through the mounting bracket of the adapter and, when lit, indicate the following conditions.
