4. Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv for IBM BladeCenter 1 Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv for IBM BladeCenter IBM BladeCenter at a glance guide The Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv is an Ethernet expansion card with two 1 Gb Ethernet ports designed for BladeCenter servers with CIOv expansion slots It is based on proven Broadcom 5709S ASIC technology and offers value added features like TCP Offload TOE and software based iSCSI support for high performance This card is installed into the CIOv slot of the supported blade server It provides connections to Ethernet compatible modules located in bays 3 and 4 of supported BladeCenter chassis The CIOv slot is a second generation PCI Express x8 slot A maximum of one Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv is supported per single wide blade server The Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv is shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 Ethernet Expansion Card CIOv Did you know Today s virtualized servers require a larger number of network adapters This adapter is a perfect fit for these environments because it can enable up to eight Ethernet ports per blade server The adapter is based on the PCI Express bus which can be thought of as a high speed serial replacement of the older technology Its use offers many benefits including higher speeds and the ability to send and receive data at the same time When using the CIOv adapter you can simultaneously use a CFFh adapter to enable more types of I O to supported blade s
