Network Adapters - Lenovo System x3650 M5 Product Manual

Network adapters

The System x3650 M5 supports four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Optionally, the server supports ML2
adapters that are installed in the custom ML2 slot provided by the PCIe ML2 riser cards (part numbers
00KA504 and 00KA519). This slot supports adapters with either two 10 Gb ports or four Gigabit Ethernet ports
and supports direct connectivity to the IMM2.1 service processor for out-of-band systems management.
The integrated network interface controller (NIC) has the following features:
A Broadcom BCM5719 chip
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports
NIC Teaming (load balancing and failover)
Ethernet features:
Compliant with 1 Gb Ethernet IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab PHY specifications
Integrated PHY for 10/100/1000 Mbps for multispeed, full, and half-duplex auto-negotiation
Automatic MDI crossover
IEEE 802.3x-compliant flow control support
IEEE 1588 protocol and 802.1AS time synchronization implementation
IEEE802.3az - Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
I/O Virtualization features:
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft virtual machine queue (VMQ)
Function Level Reset (FLR)
IEEE 802.1q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tagging support
Stateless offload and performance features:
TCP, IP, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) checksum offload
TCP segmentation offload (TCO)
Large Send Offload (LSO)
Receive Side Scaling (RSS) and Transmit Side Scaling (TSS)
