PCIe LP 2-Port 1GbE TX Adapter (FC 9056; CCIN 5767)
Learn about features, requirements, and specifications for the feature code (FC) 9056 adapter.
The PCIe LP 2-Port 1GbE TX adapter is a low-profile, full-duplex, dual port, gigabit Ethernet adapter.
This adapter is the low-profile adapter and FC 9055 is the regular-height adapter. Both adapters are the
low-priced equivalents of the FC 5767.
The adapter interfaces to the system via a PCIe bus. This adapter can be configured to run each port at
10, 100, or 1000 Mbps data rates. The adapter connects to a network using a 4-pair CAT-5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable for distances of up to 100 meters (328.08 feet). This adapter is PCIe x4 capable
and conforms to the PCIe 1.0a standard. The adapter supports AIX Network Installation Management
(NIM) boot capability. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. The adapter
supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps speed. The adapter does not support a speed of
1000 Mbps speed in half-duplex (HDX) mode.
The adapter provides the following features:
v Supports interrupt moderation to deliver increased performance while significantly reducing processor
utilization
v Supports dual port operation in almost any PCIe slot, except x1
v Supports auto-negotiation, full-duplex only
v Supports integrated media-access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY)
v Supports Fast EtherChannel (FEC) with the existing software
v Supports gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) with the existing software
v Supports IEEE 802.3ad (Link Aggregation control protocol)
v Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
v Supports IEEE 802.3 z, ab, u, x flow control support
v Supports IEEE 802.1p
v Supports IEEE 802.3ab for TX
v Supports TCP checksum offload transmission control protocol (TCP), user datagram protocol (UDP),
Internet Protocol (IP) for IPv4 and IPv6
v Supports TCP segmentation or large send offload
