5486IOA.fm Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004
380 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
#4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
The #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA allows iSeries servers to attach to a
standardized 100 Mbps high-speed Ethernet LAN. It also allows the attachment
to existing 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The adapter comes with an RJ-45 connector
for attachment to UTP-5 media. Cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3 or CAT-5.
Cabling for 100 Mbps must be CAT 5 that meets or exceeds Industry Standard
EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. The maximum cable length is 100 meters. The
Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half or full duplex mode.
If the #4838 is selected to run on a #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server
or #2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, one #0224 (100/10 Mbps
Ethernet on Integrated Netfinity Server) is required for each #4838 ordered.
When used as a Direct Attached Adapter for Linux, order the #0607 in place of
the #4838.
The #4838 is
withdrawn from marketing in October 2004. The xxx is the
recommended replacement.
