Preface x Express5800/320Ma: PCI Adapter Guide
Chapter 1 Overview of PCI Adapters 1- Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters, along with the Express5800/320Ma I/O subsystem, provide the I/O capability for Express5800/320Ma systems.
PCI Adapters Available with Express5800/320Ma Systems Table 1-1. Supported PCI Adapters Vendor Adapter Name (Vendor Part Number) PCI Adapter Part Number Reference U463 Virtual Technician Module (VTM) NEC Solutions (America), Inc. U463 Virtual Technician Module AA-U46300 See Notes, this section.
System Configurations and PCI Slot Availability System Configurations and PCI Slot Availability Express5800/320Ma systems contain two CPU- I ⁄ O enclosures, each of which contains a CPU element and an I/O element. The duplication of enclosures provides redundancy in components such as processors, hard drives, PCI slots, and certain I/O ports. PCI slots are logically associated with the I/O elements. Express5800/320Ma 3.
Paired PCI Slots and Duplex Operation of PCI Adapters No slots are reserved; however, you can install full-height PCI adapters only in slot 2 or slot 3. See the Hardware Requirements section in each chapter for specific installation recommendations for each adapter. NOTE You must insert PCI-slot filler panels in empty PCI slots to maintain proper airflow. Figure 1-1.
General References NOTE If you remove a simplexed PCI adapter, or if it fails, communications for applications related to that adapter will terminate. Removing one of two duplexed PCI adapters, however, will not affect communications. To increase the fault tolerance of a system, always install PCI adapters for critical applications in paired slots, and ensure that the adapters are marked as duplexed in ftSMC.
General References Table 1-2.
Chapter 2 Ethernet PCI Adapters 2- The following sections describe the supported Ethernet PCI adapters: • “U575 Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapters” on page 2-1 • “Embedded Ethernet PCI Adapters” on page 2-2 NOTE Your system may also contain dedicated Ethernet ports for U463 Virtual Technician Modules, but these Ethernet ports are intended for a local maintenance network. For more information, see the Express5800/320Ma Virtual Technician Module User’s Guide.
Embedded Ethernet PCI Adapters Table 2-6. U575 PCI Adapter Features and Requirements Summary Feature/Requirement Description PCI Adapter Type Dual-port copper, 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet PCI adapter Part No. AA-U57500 Supported systems Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core Required/Optional Optional Slot Assignment Any slot; slot 2 or 3 in Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.
Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters Requirements and configuration procedures for the embedded Ethernet PCI adapters are similar to the procedures for the other Ethernet PCI adapters. Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters For fault tolerance, install Ethernet PCI adapters that are in the same team in different I/O elements. Although teamed Ethernet PCI adapters in the same I/O element are marked as duplexed in ftSMC, they are not fault tolerant.
Software Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters † Each dual-port Ethernet PCI adapter appears as two adapters in PROSet, Device Manager, and My Network Places. ‡ If you install the AK533 attachment kit in an Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz system, the maximum number of Ethernet PCI adapters will be the same as in an Express5800/320Ma 3.6 GHz system. Software Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters Ethernet PCI adapters require the following software: • sragbe.
Cabling Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters Cabling Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters The following sections describe the cabling requirements of the following Ethernet PCI adapters: • “Cabling U575 and Embedded Ethernet PCI Adapters” on page 2-5 NOTE Label each cable that you attach to a PCI adapter, noting the host name, I/O element number, PCI slot number, and port number (if applicable) to which the cable connector attaches.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-2. RJ-45 Connector mpci009 mpci083 Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Use the PROSet utility to configure Ethernet PCI adapters (see “Starting PROSet” on page 2-7). PROSet is part of the Ethernet PCI adapter software. Use PROSet to perform the following tasks: • Locate a PCI adapter (see “Locating Ethernet PCI Adapters” on page 2-15) in a system with many Ethernet PCI adapters.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters • Troubleshoot Ethernet PCI adapters (see “Using PROSet Utility Diagnostics” on page 2-41). NOTES 1. In systems with more than one enclosure, you can physically remove an enclosure without disrupting the network only if the active Ethernet PCI adapters in the enclosure are teamed with adapters in another enclosure. Note that with Adaptive Load Balancing and Link Aggregation teams, your system will experience a drop in throughput while the enclosure is absent. 2.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters A PROSet dialog box appears (see Figure 2-3 for an example). Figure 2-3. Initial PROSet Dialog Box If you need to start PROSet remotely, you can use Windows Remote Desktop to access PROSet (and the system’s desktop). You can then create or modify a team if it is not carrying your connection to the system.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters NOTES 1. When you are using PROSet remotely through Remote Desktop, do not modify the team that provides your connection to the system. Doing so will result in a loss of network connection. 2. Only one user can access PROSet at a time. If you attempt to start PROSet and nothing happens, another user might be running PROSet in a Remote Desktop session. Use Task Manager to check for the PROSet.exe process.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters You can assign any Ethernet PCI adapter supplied by NEC Solutions (America), Inc. to any type of team, with some exceptions for static link aggregation teams. See “Static Link Aggregation Teams” on page 2-11 for details. NOTE Also see the PROSet online help for additional teaming information and restrictions. Adapter Fault Tolerant Teams An Adapter Fault Tolerant (AFT) team is a set of two or more Ethernet PCI adapters that provide redundant connections to a single switch.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters address of the new primary adapter. As a result, some packets are dropped until the new primary adapter can reestablish connections using the new Ethernet address (possibly a 30-second or more delay). To disable receive load balancing and to improve fault tolerance, you must manually set the value of the Receive Load Balancing property to Off in the Advanced tab for the ALB team. (The ALB team continues to balance traffic that the team transmits.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Note that the Ethernet PCI adapters in an 802.3ad team cannot be connected to a hub. The adapters must be connected to a single switch that supports the final 802.3ad specification, and the relevant switch ports must be properly configured for it. (802.3ad teams also include AFT features.) NOTE To maximize performance with dynamic link teams, use fewer teams, but more Ethernet PCI adapters in each team.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Virtual LANs You can add a Virtual LAN (VLAN) to any type of Ethernet team. NOTE NEC Solutions (America), Inc. supports VLANs only over Ethernet teams, not over individual adapters. An unteamed adapter is a single point of failure that can cause the loss of a network connection. A VLAN allows you to isolate network traffic for a specific group of network hosts.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Configuring Ethernet Teams Use the PROSet utility to configure Ethernet PCI adapters into teams. Keep the following notes, guidelines, and restrictions in mind when you create a team: • If you disable a team but subsequently make and apply any changes in the PROSet utility, PROSet enables the team again. Clicking Apply in the PROSet utility enables all teams. To disable the teams again, use Device Manager or My Network Places.

When the flashing stops, you can click Start to flash the LED again or Close to dismiss the Identify Adapter dialog box. If necessary, repeat steps 2-6 to locate additional adapters.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters To set the link speed and duplex mode 1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on page 2-7). 2. In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, click an adapter. (Each port on a dual-port Ethernet PCI adapter appears as a separate PCI adapter in PROSet.) If necessary, expand a team to access its member adapters. 3. Click the Speed tab. 4.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-6. Verifying Link Speed, Duplex Mode, and Link Activity If necessary, also verify the actual link speed and duplex mode LEDs on the Ethernet PCI adapters and the remote ports to which they are connected. If the link speed and duplex mode are incorrect, try removing and replacing the network cables. If the link speed and duplex mode are still incorrect, verify that your network equipment supports the link speed and duplex mode that you set. 8.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-7. Selecting the Type of Team 4. In the next dialog box of the Teaming Wizard, select the Ethernet PCI adapters for the team by clicking the check boxes next to each adapter. As you select adapters for a team, follow the cautions and notes listed at the beginning of this section (“Configuring Ethernet Teams” on page 2-14). Figure 2-8 shows an example of selecting four U575 PCI adapters for a team.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-8. Selecting Ethernet PCI Adapters for a Team 5. After you have selected the Ethernet PCI adapters for the team, click Next, and then click Finish. 6. When the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box reappears, click Apply. (Do not designate primary or secondary adapters at this time.) PROSet begins to bind the specified PCI adapters into teams. This operation takes at least one minute per team to complete.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-9. Assigning Priorities to Ethernet PCI Adapters NOTE You can select only one primary adapter and only one secondary adapter for a team. If you select another primary or secondary adapter, it overrides your initial selection. To confirm your selections, right-click the adapters again.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Configuring Virtual LANs Over a Team ! CAUTION Configuring a VLAN over an Ethernet team disrupts the network traffic over the team. NOTE Configuring VLANs is optional. You can have an Ethernet team without VLANs. 1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on page 2-7). 2. In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, right-click the appropriate team.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters Figure 2-11. Specifying a VLAN ID and Name 4. In the same dialog box, enter a Name for the VLAN. The name is only for identification, and it does not need to match the name of VLAN on other network devices. 5. Click OK. The new entry for the VLAN appears in Virtual LANs, under the team entry in the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box. To add additional VLANs, repeat step 2-5. (You can create up to 64 VLANs on a system.) 6.
Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters 2. Verify that an IP address has been assigned to each team or VLAN. • If you have created a team without VLANs, the team requires an IP address. (The individual Ethernet PCI adapters in a team have no IP addresses.) To find the IP address for a team in PROSet, click the entry for the team and see the IP Address in the Team Configuration tab. • If you have created a team with VLANs, each VLAN in that team requires an IP address.
