Dual-Port Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC
The 500s appliance supports Nokia-approved, dual-port fiber-optic Gigabit
Ethernet NICs installed on a 6U PMC carrier. The 500s appliance can
accommodate up to four Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
When you purchase a Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your 500s appliance, the
NIC is installed before the appliance is delivered to you. For information
about how to add or replace a NIC, see
Network Interface Cards."
Note
If you are using only two dual-port Gigabit Ethernet NICs in a 500s
appliance, you should place one NIC in each of the two 6U PMC card
carrier units to get maximum system throughput. Each 6U PMC card
carrier unit has a separate PCI bus connection to the main system board.
In the configuration described here, each of the two dual-port Gigabit
Ethernet NIC s access a separate PCI bus.
