Description and technical overview
The IBM® 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter encapsulates SCSI commands and data into TCP packets and transports them over a 1-gigabit-Ethernet network through IP. The adapter is dual function, operating as an iSCSI TOE (TCP/IP offload engine) adapter or as a general purpose Ethernet adapter where the TCP/IP protocol is offloaded onto the adapter.
The adapter is available in the following versions:
- 1 Gigabit-SX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (optical connector), FC 5714
- 1 Gigabit-TX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (copper connector), FC 5713 and FC 1986
1 Gigabit-SX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (optical connector), FC 5714 (CCIN 573C)
- FRU part number 03N6058* or 30R5519**
(* Designed to comply with RoHS requirement.
** Not designed to comply with the RoHS requirement.) - 133 MHz PCI-X version 1.0a support and version 2.0 mode 1
- PCI 2.3 compliant
- Low profile
- 3.3 V
- Hardware implementation of entire TCP/IP stack
- 200 MB/s, full duplex gigabit Ethernet
- iSCSI initiator support
- IEEE 802.3z compliant
- iSCSI RFC 3720 Compliant
- Multimode fiber cabling support
- Fiber LC connector for multimode fiber cabling
- Dual-address cycle support for access to 64-bit addresses
- 64-bit addressing support for systems with physical memory greater than 4 gigabytes
- PCI-X split transactions support
- LED indicator for link activity
Note: The fiber adapters are designed with specifications
that the cable be a dual-cable connector, with transmit and receive
cable ends clamped together. If you use separate transmit and receive
fiber cables, clamp the cables together to enhance the retention strength
on the fiber transceiver connector. Clamping the cables together also
improves the alignment of the fibers with the connector and is designed
to improve overall performance.
