#5761/5758/280D PCI-X Fibre Chan Tape Controller with IOP
Provides a 4 Gbps Single Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2.0 Adapter, which attaches external tape devices. #5761
is a 64-bit address/ data, short form factor PCI-X adapter with an LC type external fiber connector that
provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop. With the use of appropriate optical fiber
cabling, this adapter provides the capability for a network of high-speed local and remote located storage.
The #5761 will auto-negotiate for the highest data rate between adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps,
2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable. Distances of up to 500 meters running at 1 Gbps
data rate, up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and 4 Gbps data rate up to 150 meters are supported
between the adapter and an attaching device or switch. When used with IBM supported Fibre Channel
storage switches supporting long-wave optics, distances of up to 10 kilometers are capable running at either
1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.
The #5761 can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel Switches. If attaching
a device or switch with a SC type fiber connector, use of a #2456 LC-SC Adapter Kit (50um) or a #0372 LC-SC
Adapter Kit (62.5um) is required.
Features #5761 and #5758 are physically the same card, but have different feature numbers that denote to
IBM configurator tools whether or not an IOP is required.
