#4838 #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
The #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA feature allows the iSeries or AS/400e server to attach to standardized 100 Mbps
high-speed Ethernet LANs and allows attachment to existing 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The adapter comes standard with
an RJ45 connector for attachment to UTP-5 media. Cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3 or CAT-5, and cabling for 100 Mbps
must be CAT-5 that meets or exceeds Industry Standard EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. Maximum cable length is 100 meters.
This Ethernet IEEE 802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half or duplex mode. If the #4838 is selected to run on the #2890
PCI Integrated Netfinity Server/#2891 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, then specify code #0224 is required for each #4838
selected to run on the #2890/#2891.
The #4838 can be attached directly to a Linux partition. When ordered as #0607 Linux Direct Attach - #4838, an IOP is not
required. When direct attached to a Linux partition, the #4838 cannot be accessed by OS/400 partitions. In the 270 system
unit, the #0607 can only be installed in slots C02 or C05
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
The #4838 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #4838 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 October 2004. The recommended replacement is the #2849 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet Adapter.
#5700 #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA
The #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA allows an iSeries server to attach to IEEE standard 802.3Z high-speed (1 Gbps)
Ethernet LANs. It might also be used to connect to existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet LANs by using switches with
10/100/1000 Mbps ports. It cannot directly attach to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LANs. Crossover cables are not supported.
The #5700 adapter supports a multimode fiber interface with a 62.5 micron or 50.0 micron cable requirement. The #5700
adapter has a duplex LC fiber optic connector for attachment to client-supplied cabling. The #5700 uses short wave
technology (around 500 m maximum).
The #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA can be run under a #2892 PCI Integrated xSeries Server. If a #5700 is controlled by
a #2792 Integrated xSeries Server, then #0226 1 Gbps Ethernet Specify must be ordered. Order one #0226 for each #5700
PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server.
When the #5700 is not installed in an Integrated xSeries Server, there is a maximum of one #5700 per Multi-adapter Bridge
Boundary. Combinations of #5700s controlled by Integrated xSeries Server-controlled and controlled by PCI IOPs are
allowed within a Multi-adapter Bridge Boundary.
The #5700 can be attached directly to a Linux partition. When ordered as #0620 - Direct Attach - #5700 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet IOA, an IOP is not required. When attached directly to a Linux partition, the #5700 cannot be accessed by OS/400
partitions.
There are exceptions for 32-bit slot placement in the Model 270 system units. See the system unit schematics or PCI Card
Placement Rules for the IBM eServer iSeries Server, REDP-3638, for backplane layout, PCI slot positions, and allowable
#5700 slot plugging rules by model.
PCI card slots required: One 64-bit slot. A 32-bit slot is recommended in the Model 270.
Maximum of two IOA under an IOP of which only one can be a Gbps Ethernet Adapter
Does not support LAN console at OS/400 V5R2.
Supports TCP/IP only. SNA and IPX connections are not supported.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R2 with PTF MF33086.
The #5700 is a Customer Install Feature.
