#2629 SPD LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP
This adapter uses one SPD slot. It supports up to three of the following IOAs:
#6149 16/4 Mbps Token Ring IOA
#6180 Twinaxial Workstation IOA (
withdrawn from marketing 31 July 2001)
#6181 ASCII Workstation Controller (
withdrawn from marketing 31 July
2001)
One #2629 supports any combination of adapters with one restriction. There is a
maximum of two LAN IOAs.
Up to seven #2629s can be placed into each #5072 1063 Mbps System Unit
Expansion Tower. The #2629 is not allowed in slot 14 of the #5072 1063 Mbps
System Unit Expansion Tower. No restrictions apply when using the #2629 with a
#5073 tower.
The #2629 was
withdrawn from marketing on 31 May 2001.
#2810 LAN/WAN IOP
The #2838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA is used in SPD cages for attaching
the #2838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA or one of the #281x PCI ATM IOAs. It
is a high workload IOP and has configuration limitations.
The #2810 was
withdrawn from marketing on 31 May 2001.
Important: Keep in mind that Eserver i5 520, 550, 570, and 595, and iSeries
800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 models do not support migration towers or SPD
hardware.
