I/O Adapters and Controllers
#4818 PCI 155 Mbps Single-Mode Fiber OC3 ATM IOA
This feature allows iSeries servers to be attached to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
network using the Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) 9 micron interface. This interface is intended
primarily for direct connection to service provider equipment but can be used for local area
switches. The #4818 is typically used where 155 Mbps speeds are required over distances
from 16 to 40 km.
#4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
This feature allows iSeries servers to attach to a standardized 100 Mbps high-speed Ethernet
LAN. It also allows the attachment to existing 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The adapter comes
with an RJ-45 connector for attachment to UTP-5 media. Cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3
or CAT-5. Cabling for 100 Mbps must be CAT 5 that meets or exceeds Industry Standard
EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. The maximum cable length is 100 meters. The Ethernet/IEEE
802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half or full duplex mode.
If the #4838 is selected to run on a #2790 or #2890 Integrated Netfinity Server or
#2791/#2799 or #2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, one #0224 (100/10Mbps
Ethernet on Integrated Netfinity Server) is required for each #4838 ordered.
#9771 Base PCI 2-Line WAN with Modem
The #9771 is a 2-line WAN adapter, with one port supporting multiple protocol communications
and the other port supporting V.90 56K Async Data on PPP via an internal modem. Connection to
the V.90 port is via telephone cable.
Connection to the WAN port is through one of these cables:
• #0348 V.24/EIA232 20 ft PCI cable
• #0349 V.24/EIA232 50-ft PCI cable
• #0353 V.35 20 ft PCI cable
• #0354 V.35 50-ft PCI cable
• #0355 V.35 80-ft PCI cable
• #0356 V.36 20 ft PCI cable
• #0358 V.36 150-ft PCI cable
• #0359 X.21 20 ft PCI cable
• #0360 X.21 50-ft PCI cable
• #0365 V.24/EIA232 80-ft PCI cable
Electronic Customer Support (ECS) on the telephone cable (RJ-11) port over TCP/IP is
supported in V5R1, or with V4R5 and PTF SF64124 (5769-SS1). Download and install V4R5
Client Access Express Service Pack 2 or later to obtain Wizard (5769-XE1 SF64217). Then
use Operational Navigator to configure this Universal Connection as stated in cover letter
SF64124. This Universal Connection operates using the integrated high-speed V.90. This
includes electronic fix retrieval and problem reporting.
