Planning, Installing, and Managing the IBM System x3950 M2
The optional ServeRAID MR10k adapter does not use a PCIe x8 slot because it
has a dedicated PCIe x8 customized 240-pin slot on the I/O board.
The PCI subsystem also supplies these I/O devices:
򐂰
LSI 1078 serial-attached SCSI (SAS) controller
򐂰 Broadcom dual-port 5709C 10/100/1000 Ethernet
򐂰
Six USB ports, two on the front panel, three on the rear, one onboard
򐂰 Remote Supervisor Adapter II adapter in a dedicated socket on the I/O board.
This adapter also provides the ATI ES1000 16 MB video controller.
򐂰
EIDE interface for the DVD-ROM drive (some models)
򐂰 Serial port
1.11 Networking
The IBM x3950 M2 and x3850 M2 servers have an integrated dual 10/100/1000
Ethernet controller that uses the Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709C controller.
The controller contains two standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet MACs which can
operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode.
1.11.1 Main features
The Broadcom NetXtreme II dual port Gigabit capable Ethernet ports have the
following main features:
򐂰
Shared PCIe interface across two internal PCI functions with separate
configuration space
򐂰 Integrated dual 10/100/1000 MAC and PHY devices able to share the bus
through bridge-less arbitration
򐂰
IPMI enabled
򐂰 TOE acceleration (support for in the x3950 M2 and x3850 M2 is planned but
was not available at the time of writing).
Note: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is required so you can use Active PCI
on the x3850 M2 and x3950 M2. Support in Linux distributions is planned for
later in 2008.
Note: These onboard Ethernet controllers do not support iSCSI nor RDMA.
