5.1.2 Ethernet Adapters
In this section, information on the available Ethernet adapters is provided.
5.1.2.1 PCI IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (# 2968)
The IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI adapter provides a 10 Mbps (10BaseT)
or 100 Mbps (100BaseTx) full-duplex Ethernet LAN connection. The adapter
supports 32-bit bus master PCI connection to the host system for enhanced
data throughput and lower bus utilization. The adapter supports Category-5
unshielded twisted pair cabling.
5.1.2.2 PCI Gigabit Ethernet - SX Adapter (# 2969)
The Gigabit Ethernet - SX PCI Adapter provides a 1 Gbps (1000BaseT)
full-duplex Ethernet LAN connection. With a ten-time increase in performance
over Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet enables customers to move data to and
from their servers with ease, at only a fraction of the cost. This adapter
provides a full-duplex 1000Base-SX fiber connection to a Gigabit Ethernet
switch.
5.1.3 ISDN Adapters
In this section, information on the available ISDN adapter is given.
5.1.3.1 PCI Eicon ISDN DIVA PRO 2.0 S/T Adapter (# 2708)
The Eicon ISDN DIVA PRO 2.0 PCI S/T Adapter connects PCI RS/6000
systems to worldwide ISDN networks. The adapter comes from Eicon
Technology, the world leader in ISDN technology, as a fully supported IBM
feature. The Eicon ISDN DIVA PRO 2.0 PCI S/T Adapter for the PowerPC
Systems provides basic rate 2B + D with 64 Kbps on each B channel. It
requires connection to NT-1 (Network Terminator -1) from the phone line
provider. TCP/IP applications are supported.
AIX 4.3.2 or later is required for hardware checksum and jumbo frame
support.
