IBM 74Y4064 576F 5260 5899 EL4L EL4M PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter
The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter has 74Y4064 part number and 5260 5899 EL4L EL4M feature codes. The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter is a full-height, Gen2 PCIe adapter for IBM Power Systems. The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter provides four 1-Gb Ethernet ports that can be configured to run at 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter connects to a network via unshielded twisted pair UTP cable for distances of up to 328 feet. The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter supports AIX Network Installation Management NIM boot capability, and conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. The IBM 576F PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps speed.

Each Ethernet port can be connected by using:
CAT5e or later, or UTP cables for 1000 Mbps network attachment
CAT5 or CAT3 UTP cables for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps network attachment
The cables are attached to the copper RJ45 connectors. Each port is independent of one another and supports full-duplex or half-duplex. The half-duplex mode does not support a speed of 1000 Mbps.
The adapter provides the following features:
Supports interrupt moderation to deliver increased performance while significantly reducing processor utilization
Supports dual port operation in almost any PCIe slot, except x1
Supports auto-negotiation, full-duplex only
Supports integrated media-access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY)
Supports Fast EtherChannel (FEC) with the existing software
Supports gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) with the existing software
Supports IEEE 802.3ad (Link Aggregation control protocol)
Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
Supports IEEE 802.3 z, ab, u, x flow control support
Supports IEEE 802.1p
Supports IEEE 802.3ab for TX
Supports TCP checksum offload transmission control protocol (TCP), user datagram protocol (UDP), Internet Protocol (IP) for IPv4 and IPv6
Supports TCP segmentation or large send offload
Supports EEPROM-SPI and single EEPROM
Supports interrupt levels INTA and MSI
Hardware certifications FCC B, UL, CE, VCCI, BSMI, CTICK, MIC
Network Controller (MAC) Intel 82571EB
Compliant with European Union Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
