44 IBM Power 570 Technical Overview and Introduction
Before adding or rearranging adapters, use the System Planning Toll to validate the new
adapter configuration. See the System Planning Tool Web site at :
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/tools/systemplanningtool/
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the
new feature and determine whether there are any existing PTF prerequisites to install. To do
this, use the IBM Prerequisite Web site at :

2.8.1 LAN adapters
To connect a 570 local area network (LAN), you can use Integrated 10/100/1000 dual-port
Virtual Ethernet with optional 10/100/1000 quad-port or dual-port 10 Gb Virtual Ethernet.
Table 2-6 lists the additional LAN adapters that are available.
Table 2-6 Available LAN adapters
2.8.2 SCSI and SAS adapters
To connect to external SCSI or SAS devices, the adapters that are provided in Table 2-7 are
available to be configured.
