Introduction

Myricom currently produces three series of Myrinet/PCI-X Network Interface Cards

(NICs): the PCIXD series with 225MHz RISC and memory, and the PCIXE series and

PCIXF series with 333MHz RISC and memory. These series of NICs have the “low

profile PCI Short Card” form factor. The product codes follow this scheme:

Physical Port Form factor NIC type Memory

M3F- (Myrinet-Fiber) PCIX D -2, -4

M3F2- (Myrinet-Fiber) PCIX E -2, -4

M3F- (Myrinet-Fiber) PCIX F -2, -4

such that, for example, a M3F-PCIXD-2 NIC has one Myrinet-Fiber port, has the

Myricom Lanai XP processor operating at 225MHz, and has 2MB of local memory. A

M3F2-PCIXE-2 NIC has two Myrinet-Fiber ports, has the Myrinet Lanai 2XP processor

operating at 333MHz, and has 2MB of local memory. A M3F-PCIXF-2 NIC has one

Myrinet-Fiber port, has the Myricom Lanai 2XP processor operating at 333MHz, and has

2MB of local memory. Not all combinations are produced. The NICs that are in current

production are listed at:

This listing also includes prices and links to the detailed product specifications.

The low profile PCI short cards, as pictured below, are available with Myrinet ports for

Myrinet-Fiber (LC-connectorized 50/125 multimode fiber cables). (Note that PCIXD

NICs shipped between May 2003 and February 2005 are based on the Lanai-XP chip and

its memory operating at 225MHz. Later production of PCIXD NICs is based on a Lanai-

2XP chip and its memory operating at 225MHz. The two versions of PCIXD NICs are

form+fit+function equivalent.)
