4405ch02 Architecture and technical overview.fm
The following feature codes are available, at the time of writing, for each 570 enclosure:
FC 5636 (standard), Integrated 2-ports 1 Gbps (single controller, twisted pair)
– 16 MAC addresses, one port group
FC 5637 (optional), Integrated 2-ports 10 Gbps SR
– 32 MAC addresses, two port groups
FC 5639 (optional), Integrated 4-ports 1 Gbps (single controller, twisted pair)
– 32 MAC addresses, two port groups
Figure 2-11 shows the major components of the Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapter hardware
and additional system ports, according to the different feature codes.

Any IVE feature code located in the first enclosure of a 570 also includes the System VPD
(Vital Product Data) Chip and system (serial) port (1 or 2 depending on the feature code).
The IVE feature code is installed by manufacturing. Similar to other integrated ports, the
feature does not have hot-swappable or hot-pluggable capability and must be serviced by a
trained IBM System Service Representative.
Figure 2-12 on page 41 shows the rear view of a basic 570 in a state of disassembly with
some necessary components and covers removed to highlight the connection of the feature
code assembly into the server enclosure I/O subsystem system board.

10 Gbps SR (short range) is designed to support short distances over deployed multi-mode fiber cabling, it has a
range of between 26 m and 82 m depending on cable type. It also supports 300 m operation over new, 50 µm
2000 MHz·km multi-mode fiber (using 850 nm).
