Identifying the card
The card has a label-sticker with the serial
number in the format ‘IXHXXX-YY-ZZZZZZ’, where XXX denotes the
card-type (
e.g. 610
), YY denotes the card revision (
e.g. DE
) and ZZZZZZ denotes the serialized production
number (
e.g. 012345
)
– this whole string makes up the serial number of the card (
i.e. IXH610-DE-012345
).
With the DIS software installed and loaded, you can get this serial number with the ixdiag command;
The top of this output will show information about the card;
Adapter 0 > Type : IXH610
NodeId : 4
Serial number : IXH610-DE-001352
IXH chipId : 0x8091111d
IXH chip revision : 0x00000002 (ZC)
EEPROM version NTB mode : 0024
EEPROM version transp mode : 0009
EEPROM swmode[3:0] : 1100
EEPROM images : 0001
Card revision : DE
Here you will see both the whole serial-number string, as well as the decoded card-type and card-revision
identifiers.
The ‘EEPROM version NTB mode’ may be of interest – this shows the firmware-version of the card.
You can also get this information without ixdiag (for instance when the drivers are not loaded or the card is in
transparent mode), using lspci in Linux;
First run lspci, and identify the card. It will show up as something like
02:00.0 PCI bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
02:00.1 Bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
02:00.2 System peripheral: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
Second, do an lspci
–vvvv –s <device> , and look for the ‘Serial’ –string
# lspci -s 02:00.0 -vvv | grep Serial
Capabilities: [180 v1] Device Serial Number 00-00-44-45-00-00-05-48
This shows the card as revision 0x4445 (
hexadecimal values of the ‘DE’ letters in the ASCII table
), with the
production number 0x00000548 (
001352 in decimal
).
