Hardware Requirements
The XMC-6260-CC supports architectures with PCIE (x4, x8, x16) gen 2 slots.
Note that running a 10Gb adapter on a PCI x4 slot is not recommended as
performance will be significantly reduced by the limitations of PCI. PCIe Gen
2 is also backwards compatible with Gen 1; however, the use of Gen 1 will
also result in significantly reduced performance.
Software Requirements
The XMC-6260-CC has been developed to run on 64-bit Linux based
platforms as well as 64-bit Windows systems and therefore it is a base
requirement for running the driver. To know more about the complete list
of operating systems supported by each driver, please refer to the driver’s
README information available from Chelsio’s website at
http://service.chelsio.com.
MAC Addresses
A MAC ID has been assigned to each of the two XAUI ports on the XMC-6260-
CC. The base address has been listed on a label on the bottom side of the
board. The following MAC address will be the next increment of 8. For
example, if the base MAC ID is 00:01:C3:00:7F:5A, the other MAC ID is
00:01:C3:00:7F:62.
