1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (FC 1986, 1987, 5713, 5714; CCIN
573B)
Learn about the 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter.
Description and technical overview
The IBM 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter encapsulates SCSI commands and data into TCP packets
and transports them over a 1-gigabit-Ethernet network through IP. The adapter is dual function,
operating as an iSCSI TOE (TCP/IP offload engine) adapter or as a general purpose Ethernet adapter
where the TCP/IP protocol is offloaded onto the adapter.
The adapter is available in the following versions:
1 Gigabit-SX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (optical connector), FC 5714
1 Gigabit-TX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (copper connector), FC 5713 and FC 1986
1 Gigabit-SX iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter (optical connector), FC 5714 (CCIN 573C)

Note: The fiber adapters are designed with specifications that the cable be a dual-cable connector, with
transmit and receive cable ends clamped together. If you use separate transmit and receive fiber cables,
clamp the cables together to enhance the retention strength on the fiber transceiver connector. Clamping
