5717-8204 - IBM i Model E8A 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI Expre
IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5717) 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI Express Adapter
The 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI Express Adapter is full duplex, four-ported Gigabit Ethernet adapter that can be configured to run any of the ports at 1000,100 or 10 Mbps data rate. This adapter interfaces to the system via a PCIe bus and connects to a network using a 4-pair CAT-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable for distance of up to 100m. Each port is independent of one another and is boot capable under AIX Network install manager (NIM). The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. The #5717 supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps speed.

The 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI Express adapter IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5717) should be considered where maximum port density is required per I/O card slot. For a suggested maximum number of adapters considering performance, see the IBM System p PCI placement guide (SA76-0090) for information about the PCIe slots on your system unit.
Limitations: The 1000 Mbps speed is not supported in Half Duplex (HDX) mode.
Attributes provided: Four-ported Gigabit Ethernet
