40 IBM Power 570 Technical Overview and Introduction
The following feature codes are available, at the time of writing, for each 570 enclosure:
򐂰 FC 5636 (standard), Integrated 2-ports 1 Gbps (single controller, twisted pair)
– 16 MAC addresses, one port group
򐂰 FC 5637 (optional), Integrated 2-ports 10 Gbps SR
2
(single controller, optical)
– 32 MAC addresses, two port groups
򐂰 FC 5639 (optional), Integrated 4-ports 1 Gbps (single controller, twisted pair)
– 32 MAC addresses, two port groups
Figure 2-11 shows the major components of the Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapter hardware
and additional system ports, according to the different feature codes.
Figure 2-11 Integrated Virtual Ethernet feature codes and assemblies
Any IVE feature code located in the first enclosure of a 570 also includes the System VPD
(Vital Product Data) Chip and system (serial) port (1 or 2 depending on the feature code).
The IVE feature code is installed by manufacturing. Similar to other integrated ports, the
feature does not have hot-swappable or hot-pluggable capability and must be serviced by a
trained IBM System Service Representative.
Figure 2-12 on page 41 shows the rear view of a basic 570 in a state of disassembly with
some necessary components and covers removed to highlight the connection of the feature
code assembly into the server enclosure I/O subsystem system board.

10 Gbps SR (short range) is designed to support short distances over deployed multi-mode fiber cabling, it has a
range of between 26 m and 82 m depending on cable type. It also supports 300 m operation over new, 50 µm
2000 MHz·km multi-mode fiber (using 850 nm).
