v iSCSI Host Bus Adapter: CCIN 573B for copper cabling, CCIN 573C for fiber optic cabling.
v Network adapter
Tip: The network adapter does not need to be dedicated to the iSCSI HBA and might already be
installed.
Ensure that you have the required hardware for an iSCSI network:
v Gigabit Ethernet switch (if not using BladeCenter I/O module switch).
v Ethernet cables (category 5e or better) or fiber optic cables.
– One from each System x, xSeries, or blade system iSCSI HBA to network.
– One from each hosting system iSCSI HBA to network.
– One from each service processor hardware Ethernet port to network.
– One from hosting system network adapter to network.
– Any additional cables you might need to connect the Ethernet ports on the System x or xSeries
server or BladeCenter to network, if desired.
Ensure that you have additional equipment and supplies you might need:
v Additional computer with a network interface capable of running web browser software (used to
update and configure service processor hardware on System x, xSeries, or blade system) .
v Writable media diskettes or compact discs.
