362 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps ports. It cannot be directly attached
(crossover cables are not supported) to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps networks.
The #5700 supports a multimode fiber interface with a 62.5 micron or 50.0
micron cable requirement. The adapter has a duplex LC fiber optic connector for
attachment to customer supplied cabling.
The #5700 adapter only supports TCP/IP. SNA and IPX protocols are not
supported.
There is a maximum of one #5700 per Multi-Adapter Bridge Boundary (MABB),
except where the second #5700 is controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server.
Combinations of Integrated xSeries Server controlled and PCI IOP controlled
#5700s within a MABB are permitted. If a #5700 is controlled by a
#2792/#4810/#2892 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, then #0226 1 Gbps Ethernet
Specify is ordered for each #5700 controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server.
When used as a Direct Attached Adapter for Linux or AIX, order the #0620 in
place of the #5700.
#5701 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP IOA
The #5701 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP IOA allows attachment to IEEE standard
802.3Z high-speed (1 Gbps) Ethernet LANs. The #5701 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet
UTP IOA can negotiate to a lower speed and can directly attach to 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps networks with appropriate switches and hubs. Direct attachment via
crossover cables is not supported. The #5701 adapter supports a UTP CAT 5
media interface.
The #5701 adapter only supports TCP/IP. SNA and IPX protocols are not
supported.
There is a maximum of one #5701 per MABB, except where the second #5701 is
controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server. Combinations of Integrated xSeries
Server controlled and PCI IOP controlled #5701s within a MABB are permitted. If
a #5701 is controlled by a #2792 or #4810 or #2892 Integrated xSeries Server,
then specify code #0226 - 1 Gbps Ethernet Specify is specified for each #5701
controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server.
When used as a Direct Attached Adapter for Linux or AIX, order the #0621 in
place of the #5701.
The #2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter and the #5701 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet UTP IOA are functionally equivalent.
