2 Description 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR (#5718) The 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI-X adapter is aimed at high-end bandwidth hungry networking environment, at any level of complexity to help eliminate bottlenecks, increase productivity, and address the growing needs of on demand e-business requirements, using existing fiber infrastructures. It offers 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI-X based server connections with throughput on a standard, shortwave multimode optical cable that conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. This adapter supports distances of up to 33 m using 62.5 um multimode fiber with 200 MHz km minimum modal bandwidth at 850 nm or 300 m using 50 um multimode fiber with 2000 MHz km minimum modal bandwidth at 850 nm. Note that the adapter is only supported in 64 bit, 3.3V PCI-X slots. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR (#5718) incorporates an LC type connector on the card. This new smaller form factor connector is being used by the industry for the next generation of fiber optic networks. If connecting into an older, existing SC type connector network, an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2459) or LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2456) is required.

IBM Electronic Services IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support on the IBM eserver. You should benefit from greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent. IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support. By using the news page, it enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your IBM eserver system that is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM on a periodic customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that maintains higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
