The IBM NetXtreme 1000 T Ethernet Adapter enables high-performance network connections for IBM eServer xSeries customers. Server performance is optimized to help ensure that system I/O is not a bottleneck in high-performance networking applications. The NetXtreme 1000 T Ethernet Adapter (31P6301) comes with three key improvements over the earlier IBM Gigabit Ethernet Adapter options: first PCI-X 10/100/1000 Ethernet Adapter offering based on BCM5703 technology for IBM eServer xSeries; first Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with support for Full Smart Load Balancing for optimized bandwidth and Failover for fault tolerant environments; hardware/software commonality with BCM570x on-board technology on IBM eServer xSeries systems. ??The NetXtreme 1000 T Ethernet Adapter uses a BCM5703 Chip, the latest in Gigabit Ethernet technology from Broadcom. Its flexible architecture, which matches the hardware behavior to the operating system, is designed to help allow higher data throughput and increase... Minimize
