#2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter
The #2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter allows attachment to IEEE
standard 802.3Z high-speed Ethernet LANs (1 Gbps) to provide a significant
performance improvement over other LAN solutions. The adapter supports a
UTP CAT 5 media interface. The #2760 supports half and full duplex mode, and
TCP/IP only. IPX and SNA protocol is not supported.
The #2760 can negotiate to a lower speed and can directly attach to 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps networks with appropriate switches and hubs. Direct attachment via
crossover cables is not supported. A #2760 is supported under a #2791 or #2799
or #2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server in V5R1. A #0225 1 Gbps
Ethernet Specify is needed for each #2760 running under one of these Integrated
Netfinity Servers or Integrated xSeries Servers. Use Enhanced Category 5 cable
for the best results.
The #2760 adapter only supports TCP/IP. SNA and IPX protocols are not
supported.
When used as a Direct Attached Adapter for Linux, order the #0602 in place of
the #2760.
The #2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter and the #5701 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet UTP IOA are functionally equivalent.
The #2760 is
withdrawn from marketing in October 2004. The xxx is the
recommended replacement.
#2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller
The #2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller provides Fibre Channel
attachment capability for external tape devices. The #2765 supports
point-to-point and arbitrated loop topologies. The #2765 is auto-sensing and is
fully enabled for 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps. V5R2 is required for 2 Gbps. Each #2765 is
shipped with a wrap connector (PN#05N6767).
The following options are available to attach SC-type fibre cables:
A #0371 two meter LC-SC Adapter kit is used to connect the #2765 to a 50
micron cable.
A #0372 two meter LC-SC Adapter kit is used to connect the #2765 to a 62.5
micron cable.
Fibre Channel attachment for tape devices offers tremendous performance
capabilities and long distance options. It is also easier for you to share these
valuable resources with multiple systems.
