Connecting the adapter to an Ethernet network
Use this information to learn about connecting the IBM 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X Adapter to your
Ethernet network.
Connecting the IBM 1 Gigabit-SX iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter (optical connector) to an Ethernet
network:
The fiber adapters are designed with specifications that the cable be a dual-cable connector, with transmit
and receive cable ends clamped together. If you use separate transmit and receive fiber cables, clamp the
cables together to enhance the retention strength on the fiber transceiver connector. Clamping the cables
together also improves the alignment of the fibers with the connector and is designed to improve overall
performance.
Note: Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter at a time.
