8.2.21 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PCI adapter (FC 2975)

10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PCI adapter (F/C 2975) is a Full Duplex Gigabit
Ethernet adapter designed with highly integrated components to optimize cost
and performance. The adapter interfaces to the system via the PCI bus and
connects to the network using a 4-pair CAT-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cable for distances of up to 100m. The 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PCI
Adapter supports jumbo frames (up to 9000 bytes) for full duplex Fast & Gigabit
Ethernet.
Feature components
This feature order provides the following:
Adapter card
One full-duplex 1000Base-T UTP connection to a Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Limitations:
AIX's Network Install Manager (NIM) boot is not supported with this
adapter.
The 1000 Mbps speed is not supported in Half Duplex (HDX) mode.

8.2.22 TURBOWAYS 100 ATM adapter (F/C 2984)

The TURBOWAYS 100 ATM adapter (F/C 2984) enables TCP/IP applications to
work in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) environment. One virtual
connection is dedicated to each IP address, and a transformation of each IP
address to the corresponding virtual connection is performed.The initial release
supports AAL-5 adaptation layer interface and supports 1024 active virtual
connections.

8.2.23 Ethernet LAN PCI adapters (F/C) 2985 and 2987)

The PCI Ethernet BNC/RJ-45 and AUI/RJ-45 adapters (F/C 2985 and 2987
respectively) are 10 Mbps PCI Ethernet adapters that is compatible with IEEE
802.3 specifications. The adapters has two external connections: BNC to attach
to 10BASE2 or 10BASE5 networks and RJ-45 to attach to 10BASE-T networks.
Feature characteristics
This feature has the following characteristics and requirements:
10 Mbps Ethernet compatible with IEEE 802.3 Standards
32-bit Bus Master PCI Bus 132 Mbps
