Pcie2 Lp 2X10Gbe Sr 2X1Gbe Utp Adapter (Fc 5280; Ccin 2B54) - IBM 8231-E2B Manual

PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP Adapter (FC 5280; CCIN 2B54)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5280 adapter.
Overview
The FC 5280 and FC 5744 are both the same adapter. FC 5744 is a full-height adapter, and the FC 5280 is
a low-profile adapter. The names of these two adapters are:
v FC 5744: PCIe2 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP adapter
v FC 5280: PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP adapter
The PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP adapter is a PCI Express generation-2, four-port Ethernet unified
wire adapter with a PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter is optimized for cloud computing,
virtualization, storage, and other data center applications. The four port adapter provides two 10 Gb
Ethernet ports and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) single
root (SR) transceiver ports are used for connectivity with other servers or switches in the network. Each
SFP+ (SR) port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second),
and uses the SFP+ copper twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length. Each of the RJ45 ports provides
Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter
are ideal for critical network applications that require redundancy and high availability. Figure 36 shows
the FC 5745 adapter.
