#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. The 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 #2790
PCI Integrated Netfinity Server or #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, then specify code #0224 is required for each
#4838 selected to run on the #2790/ #2791/#2799.
The #4838 can be attached directly to a Linux partition. When ordered as #0607 - Direct Attach - #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps
Ethernet IOA, an IOP is not required. When attached directly to a Linux partition, the #4838 cannot be accessed by OS/400
partitions.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
Supports LAN console
The #4838 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #4838 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 October 2004. The recommended replacement is #2849.
#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 can also be used to connect to existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet LANs by using switches with 10,
100, or 1000 Mbps ports. It cannot directly attach to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LANs. Crossover cables are not supported.
The #5700 adapter supports a multi-mode 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 #2792 PCI Integrated xSeries Server or #2892 PCI Integrated
xSeries Server. If a #5700 is controlled by a #2x92 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 or AIX partitions with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 for POWER or Red
Hat Enterprise Linux AS for POWER Version 3, and AIX 5L for POWER V5.2. 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.
See 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 32-bit slot in the Model 830 or 840 system units, or in the #0578, #5074, #0574, #5075, #5078,
#5079, #8079, #9074, #9079 PCI Expansion Towers.
The following rules do not apply when the #5700 is controlled by a #2790/#2890 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server or by a
#2791/#2891, #2792/#2892, #4710/#4810, or #2799/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server:
Must be placed in a 64-bit slot in the #0588, #0595, #5094/#0694, #5088, #5095, #5294 towers.
Limit the quantity of one #5700 adapter per Multi-adapter Bridge boundary.
Can be combined with a maximum of one other IOA on an IOP.
Does not support LAN console OS/400 V5R2.
Supports TCP/IP only. Does not support IPX protocol.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R2 with PTF MF33086.
The #5700 is a Customer Install Feature.
