#4818 #4818 PCI ATM 155 Mbps SMF OC3
The #4818 is a 155 Mbps ATM PCI card that allows the iSeries or AS/400e server to be attached into an ATM network
using the Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) 9 micron interface. This interface is intended primarily for direct connection to service
provider equipment. The #4818 is used typically where 155 Mbps speeds are required over distances of from 16 to 40 km.
Technical specifications and industry standards supported are available at the ATM Forum Web site at:
http://www.atmforum.com
ATM not supported; upgrade to Ethernet
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
The #4818 is a Customer Install Feature.
#4838 #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
The #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA feature allows the iSeries or AS/400e server to attach to standardized 100 Mbps
high-speed Ethernet LANs and allows attachment to existing 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The adapter comes standard with
an RJ45 connector for attachment to UTP-5 media. Cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3 or CAT-5, and cabling for 100
Mbps must be CAT-5 that meets or exceeds Industry Standard EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. Maximum cable length is 100
meters. This Ethernet IEEE 802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half or duplex mode. If the #4838 is selected to run on the
#2790 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server or #2791/#2799 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, then specify code #0224 is required
for each #4838 selected to run on the #2790, #2791, or #2799.
Supports LAN console
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
The #4838 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #4838 was withdrawn from marketing on 01 October 2004. The recommended replacement is the #2849 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet Adapter.
#5700 #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA
The #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA allows an iSeries server to attach to IEEE standard 802.3Z high-speed (1 Gbps)
Ethernet LANs. It can also be used to connect to existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet LANs by using switches with
10/100/1000 Mbps ports. It cannot directly attach to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LANs. Crossover cables are not supported.
The #5700 adapter supports a multi-mode fiber interface with a 62.5 micron or 50.0 micron cable requirement. The #5700
adapter has a duplex LC fiber optic connector for attachment to client-supplied cabling. The #5700 uses short wave
technology (around 500 m maximum). The #5700 adapter only supports TCP/IP.
The #5700 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA can be run under a #2792 PCI Integrated xSeries Server. If a #5700 is controlled by
a #2792 Integrated xSeries Server, then #0226 1 Gbps Ethernet Specify must be ordered. Order one #0226 for each #5700
PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA controlled by an Integrated xSeries Server.
When the #5700 is not installed in an Integrated xSeries Server, there is a maximum of one #5700 per Multi-adapter Bridge
Boundary. Combinations of #5700s controlled by Integrated xSeries Server-controlled and controlled by PCI IOPs are
allowed within a Multi-adapter Bridge Boundary.
The #5700 can be attached directly to a Linux partition. When ordered as a #0620 - Direct Attach - #5700 PCI 1 Gbps
Ethernet IOA, an IOP is not required. When attached directly to a Linux partition, the #5700 cannot be accessed by OS/400
partitions.
Requires one 32-bit PCI card slot in the Model SB2 or SB3 system units, or in the #0578, #5074, #0574, #5075, #5078,
#5079, #8079, #9074, #9079 PCI Expansion Towers.
For best performance, spread high-speed IOAs, such as #5700, across the system I/O buses, first by HSL loop, then by
I/O tower, and then by Multi-Adapter Bridge.
Limit the quantity of one #5700 adapter per Multi-adapter Bridge boundary.
Can be combined with a maximum of one other IOA on an IOP.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R2 and PTF MF33086.
Does not support LAN console on OS/400 V5R2.
Does not support IPX protocol
The #5700 is a Customer Install Feature.
