(#5707) - PCI-X 1Gbps Ethernet-SX IOA

The IBM #5707 is a 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter that provides two 1Gbps (1000 Base-SX) full-duplex Ethernet LAN connections with throughput on a standard shortwave multimode optical cable that conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard. The adapter supports distances of 260m for 62.5 micron Multi Mode Fiber (MMF) and 550m for 50.0 micron MMF.

i5/OS V5R3 does not support a #5707 function called 'Large Send' or sometimes known as TCP Segmentation. This function offloads the TCP segmentation operation from the IP layer to the adapter for outgoing (transmit side) TCP segments.

i5/OS V5R3 does not support a #5707 function known as "Checksum Offload" which offloads the TCP/UDP Checksum Operation or workload from the CPU to the adapter.

The #5707 does not support SNA.

#5707 does not require a PCI IOP, even in an OS/400 partition.

Note: For optimum performance, the adapter should be placed in a 64 bit PCI-X card slot whenever possible.

Note: The 2-Port IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter incorporates an LC type connector on the card.

Limitation: Half Duplex (HDX) mode is not supported.

• Attributes provided: Two full-duplex 1000Base-SX fiber connections to a Gigabit Ethernet LANs.
• Attributes required: One 3V PCI or PCI-X card slot (either short or long).
