Specifications

EEPROM: 512KB, which includes the PCI-configuration-space data; Vital Product

Data (VPD), including the serial number, MAC address, product code, and other

information; initialization programs; and optional self-test and bootstrap programs. The

EEPROM can be re-programmed by the Lanai-XP/Lanai-2XP.

Myrinet-2000-Fiber port: 2.0+2.0 Gb/s data rate, 2.5+2.5 Gbaud signaling, 8b/10b

encoded Myrinet serial link. An “LC” optical connector attaches to a fiber pair up to

200m of 50/125 multi-mode fiber. This is a Class I Laser Product (no biological

hazard).

Myrinet-2000-Fiber port (2): Each port is 2.0+2.0 Gb/s data rate, 2.5+2.5 Gbaud

signaling, 8b/10b encoded Myrinet serial link. An “LC” optical connector attaches to a

fiber pair up to 200m of 50/125 multi-mode fiber. The standard firmware distributes

packets adaptively across the two ports, such that the two ports act as a single 4.0+4.0

Gb/s data-rate port. This is a Class I Laser Product (no biological hazard).

Physical dimensions: Low-profile PCI Short Card: height 6.4cm (exclusive of the PCI

faceplate), length 16.4cm, total thickness 2.2cm, weight 82g (including the standard PCI

faceplate). The NIC can be supplied with either a standard PCI faceplate or a low-profile

PCI faceplate.

Power: The PCIXD and PCIXF NICs are powered from 3.3V from the PCI bus, 1.8A

(6W) maximum, and the PCIXE NIC is powered from 3.3V from the PCI bus, 2.0A

(6.6W) maximum.

Environmental: Operating: Temperature OC to 50C up to 10,000 foot altitude.

Relative humidity 15% to 80% @ 50C, non-condensing. Storage: Temperature –40C to

70C. Relative humidity 90% @ 65C.

Test connector: The test connector is used for Myricom’s production testing, and should

not be used in normal service.

Regulatory Approvals: Please see page 2.

Myricom-supported software: Open source, distributed from the Myrinet Software and

Customer Support webpage (http://www.myri.com/scs/). These NICs require the use of

GM-2.x or later (PCIXD and PCIXF), or GM-2.1 or later (PCIXE), or MX-2G software.

For customers who write their own Myrinet control programs, programmer’s

documentation is included in the Lanai-X chip documentation, linked from

http://www.myri.com/vlsi/.
