Driver Features

This section provides information that you may need to install a device driver for a
RocketPort or RocketModem adapter (ISA, PCI, Universal PCI, or CompactPCI
bus types supported).

The driver supports up to 128 RocketPort and/or RocketModem ports per server.

Note: The critical limit is the number of ports your server can support. In most

applications, this is defined by the number of RAS port supported,
which is typically 256 ports per primary server.

The driver also allows you to intermix RocketPort and RocketModem ports within
the same system.
