Broadcom NetXtreme 10 GbE SFP+ Network Adapter Family for System x
4
Features and specifications
Virtualization, cloud computing, high performance computing (HPC), and clustering initiatives are
increasing workload demands. The Broadcom network adapter family is the solution of choice for
workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 10 GbE connectivity
solution.
The adapters have the following features and specifications:
Dual-port or single-port 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity
ASIC:
Single port adapter: Broadcom BCM57811S controller
Dual port adapters: Broadcom BCM57810S controller
Choice of form factors:
Mezzanine (Embedded) form factor adapters are supported in selected IBM System x servers,
which reserve the server's standard PCIe slots for other technologies.
ML2 (Mezzanine LOM Generation 2) adapters are supported in selected IBM System x servers,
ML2 (Mezzanine LOM Generation 2) adapters are supported in selected IBM System x servers,
where the adapter is installed in a dedicated slot and supports shared access to the IMM2
management processor
The PCIe adapter is supported in a low-profile PCIe adapter slot in a wide variety of System x
The PCIe adapter is supported in a low-profile PCIe adapter slot in a wide variety of System x
servers
SFP+ port supporting fiber optic and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables
PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface (5 GTps)
Full line-rate performance
Ethernet frame: 1500 byte or 9600 byte (jumbo frame)
VLAN support with VLAN tagging
Performance features:
TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE)
TCP segmentation/large send offload
Receive-side scaling (RSS) for IPv4 and IPv6
TCP/IP checksum offload for IPv4 and IPv6
UDP/IP checksum offload for IPv4 and IPv6
Message signal interrupt (MSI, MSI-X) support
PXE 2.x support
Wake on LAN (ML2 and Mezzanine cards only)
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support
IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)-Ready
Network teaming, failover, and load balancing
Smart Load Balancing (SLB)
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and generic trunking
Management using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite management application
Support for Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) for communication with the server's
onboard IMM2 management processor. This support enables the sharing the network interface with
the IMM2 and the operating system, thereby eliminating the need for a separate management
network (ML2 and mezz adapters only)
