Broadcom 5719 QP 1G (1G/100M/10M) Network Interface Card PCIe x4 LP (FC EKFF)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EKFF adapter.
Overview
The Broadcom 5719 QP 1G (1G/100M/10M) Network Interface Card PCIe x4 LP Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) x4 adapter. The adapter can be used in either an x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slot in the system. This adapter provides four 1 Gb Ethernet ports that can be configured to run at 1000 megabits per second (Mbps) or 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. The adapter connects to a network that uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable for distances of up to 100 meters (328.08 feet). The adapter supports AIX® Network Installation Management (NIM) boot capability. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. The adapter supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps speed.
