Ethernet Cables
Communications Line Planning 4-7
U574F-LC Dual-Port
1000Base-SX Fiber
Ethernet PCI Adapter
(gigabit fiber-optic
adapter for servers) 1 for each
port, typically
teamed for
fault tolerance N/A. You must
supply these
cables.
The maximum
distance
between the
U574F-LC PCI
adapter and a
switch is 902 ft
(275m).
Multimode, 62.5- or 50-micron,
DUAL fiber cable with LC-type
connectors to the PCI adapter, and
connectors on the other end that
are compatible with your site
network switch.
ftScalable Storage
RAID controller tray
‡
3: two for each
controller tray
and one to a
management
PC N/A. You must
supply these
cables. 24 AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) EIA/TIA-Verified, Category-3
or Category-5 wire, with RJ-45
modular connectors terminated with
pair-wiring adhering to the EIA/TIA
568-A or EIA/TIA 568-B standard.
For connections to an Ethernet hub
or switch, provide a
straight-through cable.
For 100-Mbps (fast Ethernet)
operation, provide full-duplex, or
Category-5 Ethernet cables.
† Your system may not contain
VTM
s , which are optional in Windows and Linux systems, and not
available in ftServer systems running VMware ESX.
‡ ftScalable Storage systems are optional. If you connect an ftServer system running VMware ESX
to an iSCSI or EMC storage system, consider its Ethernet network requirements in your site planning.
