Dual-Port Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC
The IP1200 Series supports Nokia-approved, dual-port fiber-optic Gigabit
Ethernet NICs installed on a 6U PMC carrier. The IP1200 Series can
accommodate up to four Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
When you purchase a Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your IP1200 Series, the NIC
is installed before the appliance is delivered to you. For information about
how to add or replace a NIC, see
Chapter 4, “Installing and Replacing
Network Interface Cards.”
Note
If you are using only two dual-port Gigabit Ethernet NICs in a IP1200
Series, you should place one NIC in each of the two 6U PMC card carrier
units to get maximum system throughput. Each 6U PMC card carrier unit
has a separate PCI bus connection to the main system board. In the
configuration described here, each of the two dual-port Gigabit Ethernet
NIC s access a separate PCI bus.
