IBM 5721, 10 Gb Ethernet-SR PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter

The IBM 5721 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter is designed to provide a PCI-X based server connection. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard and supports Jumbo frames.

The fc 5721 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI-X supports the following distances:

• Up to 33m using 62.5 um multimode fiber with 200 MHz*km minimum modal bandwidth at 850 nm
• Up to 300m using 50 um multimode fiber with 2000 MHz*km minimum modal bandwidth at 850 nm

The IBM 5721 adapter is designed to run in standard PCI-X v2.0 and PCI-X v1.0a compliant systems with 64-bit PCI-X BusMaster slots at 133 Mode 1 or Mode 2. The adapter draws power from the PCI-X 3.3 V supplies and is keyed to fit only into a 3.3 V slot. The adapter supports 1M x 8 bit boot FLASH ROM and has a 240 KB on-chip TX packet buffer and a 32 MB on-chip RX packet buffer.

The FRU part numbers for the adapter are:

• Adapter, 03N4590 (Designed to comply with RoHS requirement.)
• Wrap plug, 11P3847

The IBM 5721 adapter provides the following features:

• Single-slot, short form factor, 6.6 by 4.2 inch, half-length PCI cards
• 64-bit Direct Bus Mastering on the PCI-X bus
• Dual Address Cycle for access to 64-bit addresses
• PCI-X split transactions
• DMA engine for movement of command, status, and network data across PCI-X
• 240 KB on-chip TX packet buffer
• 32 MB on-chip RX packet buffer
• 1 MB Boot Flash ROM
• Jumbo frames (9 KB)
• Interrupts coalescing
• 802.1q VLAN tagging and stripping (IBM System i5 and eServer i5 do not support VLANs)
• Conforms to IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard

Operating system or partition requirements for the IBM feature 5721

• AIX 5L Version 5.3 with the 5300-04 Technology Level
• AIX 5L Version 5.2 with the 5200-08 Technology Level
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 U2
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP3
• i5/OS V5R4

The IBM 5721 adapter supports distances of up to 33m using 62.5 um multimode fiber or 300m using 50 um multimode fiber with 2000 MHz*km minimum model bandwidth at 850 nm wavelength. The fiber cable connects to the adapter with LC type connector. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae standard.
