Chapter 2. IBM iSeries SB2 and SB3 models 39
#2743 #2743 1 Gbps PCI Ethernet IOA
The #2743 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA feature allows the iSeries server to attach to IEEE standard 802.3Z high speed
Ethernet LANs (1 Gbps). It can also be used to connect to existing 100 Mbps Ethernet LANs using switches with
10/100/1000 Mbps ports.
The adapter supports multi-mode fiber media attachment to client-supplied cabling. If #2743 is selected as a LAN adapter
for the #2790 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server or #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server specify code #0225 is required
for each #2743 selected to run on the #2790, #2791, or #2799.
The #2743 can be attached directly to a Linux® partition. When ordered as a #0601 - Direct Attach - #2743 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet IOA, an IOP is not required. When direct attached to a Linux partition, the #2743 cannot be accessed by OS/400
partitions.
The #2743 requires a gigabit-capable switch with at least one port that supports a 1000Base-SX interface with IEEE 802.3z
and 802.3u compliance. It supports only a multi-mode fiber optic cable connection from the adapter to the switch. The
#2743 supports 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) full duplex interface only and cannot negotiate down to a lower speed. Stations on
the 10 Mb and 1000 Mb switched LANs can communicate with the #2743 with a switch that is capable of handling all these
speeds. In this case, the switch handles the speeds.
Protocols supported: TCP/IP only. SNA and IPX™ connections are not supported.
Prerequisite: 64-bit card slot
Maximum: One per Multi-adapter Bridge Boundary except when installed with and controlled by a #2790, #2791, or #2799.
The #2743 does not support LAN console at OS/400 V5R2.
Minimum operating system: OS/400 V5R1
The #2743 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #2743 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 October 2004. The recommended replacement is the #5700 PCI 1 Gbps
PCI Ethernet IOA.
#2744 #2744 PCI 100 Mbps Token Ring IOA
The #2744 PCI 100 Mbps Token Ring IOAprovides a single attachment to a 100 Mbps, 16 Mbps, or 4 Mbps IBM Token
Ring Network. The feature consists of an IOA card, internal code, which supplies IEEE 802.5 Media Access Control (MAC)
and IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) functions. The 100/16/4 Token Ring IOA is capable of operating in half or full
duplex mode. A 2.44 m (8 ft) token ring cable is included with the #2744. As an alternative, the client can attach a
separately priced twisted pair cable to the RJ45 connection on the IOA. IBM Cabling System patch cables, included with
the #2744, can increase the length as required. If the #2744 is selected to run on the #2790 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server
or #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, specify code #0223 is required for each #2744 selected to run on the
#2790, #2791, or #2799.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
The #2744 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #2744 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 June 2006.
#2760 #2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter
The #2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter feature allows the iSeries server to attach to IEEE standard 802.3Z
high-speed Ethernet LANs (1 Gbps) using a UTP CAT 5 media interface. The #2760 can directly attach to 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps networks.
The #2760 is supported as a LAN adapter for the #2790, #2791, or #2799. If #2760 is selected to run on the #2790 PCI
Integrated Netfinity Server or #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server specify code #0225 is required for each #2760
selected to run on the #2790, #2791, or #2799.
Protocols supported: TCP/IP only. SNA and IPX connections are not supported.
The #2760 can be attached directly to a Linux partition. When ordered as a #0602 Linux Direct Attach - #2760, an IOP is
not required. When direct attached to a Linux partition, the #2760 cannot be accessed by OS/400 partitions.
A 64-bit card slot is required.
Maximum: One per Multi-adapter Bridge Boundary except when installed with and controlled by a #2790, #2791, or #2799
The #2760 does not support LAN console at OS/400 V5R2.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R1
The #2760 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #2760 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 October 2004. The recommended replacement is the #5701 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet UTP IOA.
