Network Adapters - IBM System x3690 X5 At-A-Glance Manual

Network adapters

The x3690 X5 offers two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports, based on the Broadcom BCM5709C controller.
Some models also have an Emulex 10Gb Dual-port Ethernet Adapter (feature 1648) installed as standard
in Slot 5. See Tables 2 and 3 for specifics. This adapter is functionally identical to the Emulex 10Gb Virtual
Fabric Adapter for IBM System x, 49Y4250. The difference is that the Emulex 10Gb Dual-port Ethernet
Adapter has a longer edge connector meaning that the card can only be installed in this server. For
technical details about this card, see the
TIPS0762, at-a-glance guide available at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0762.html.
The following table lists additional supported network adapters.
