PCIe2 4-port 1 GbE adapter (FC 5260, FC 5899, FC EL4L, and FC EL4M; CCIN 576F)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5260, FC 5899, FC EL4L, and EL4M adapters.
Overview
FC 5260, FC EL4M, FC 5899, and FC EL4L are the same adapter with different feature codes. FC 5260 and EL4M are low-profile adapters and the FC 5899 and EL4L are full-height adapters.
These adapters provide 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.
