| Myri-10G PCI Express Network Adapter with one 10GBase-CX4 network port |
|
Product Codes:Key Features:
Specifications:Myri-10G network port:10GBase-CX4, 10+10 Gbit/s data rate, full-duplex. The port is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3ak specifications for the 10GBase-CX4 10-Gigabit Ethernet Physical layer (PHY), and can operate with either Ethernet or Myrinet protocols at the Data Link layer. When operating in Ethernet mode, the port supports Ethernet flow control as defined by IEEE 802.3x. The port may be connected with standard 10GBase-CX4 cables up to 15m in length. (See this Guide to Myri-10G PHYs (pdf).) PCI Express host port:This Network Adapter is an x8 (8 lane) PCI Express Add-in Card. It is capable of exchanging data with a host computer at up to 2 GBytes/s (250 MBytes/s per lane) data rate in each direction, full-duplex. This Network Adapter is fully compliant with the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Rev. 2.0, and with the PCI Express Base Specification Rev. 2.0 (2.5 GT/s only). The circuit-board edge connector of the Network Adapter will fit mechanically in x8 or x16 physical slots in host computers. The Network Adapter auto-negotiates operation in the widest available mode (x8, x4, x2, or x1) supported by the slot it is plugged into. Optional PCI Express capabilities supported: Advanced Error Reporting, Function-Level Reset, Device Serial Number, up to 16 outstanding read requests, up to 4KB MaxPayloadSize for all packet types, MSI and MSI/X, SMBus access. These network adapters have been tested and qualified in many commercially available motherboards and with all of the common PCI Express chip sets. These network adapters have also been tested in "Gen2" PCI Express slots, in which the Network Adapter auto-negotiates operation at "Gen1" PCI Express data rates. Network Adapter processor and memory:The Network Adapter is based on a Myricom custom-VLSI chip, the Lanai Z8ES, which includes a programmable RISC, a set of packet engines, and 2MB of fast SRAM. The RISC, packet engines, and SRAM inside the Lanai-Z8ES chip operate at a clock rate of 364.6MHz. Byte parity is generated and checked on all on-chip memories. EEPROM:1MB, which includes the firmware required for PCI device initialization and an Etherboot (UEFI- and PXE-compatible) driver. The driver loads the matching firmware as required by the mode in which the Network Adapter is operating. The EEPROM can be re-programmed in-place by the Lanai Z8ES. LEDs (2):The yellow LED on the PCI faceplate is controlled by the Lanai firmware; its interpretation is different for different firmware. There is also a green LED for the port: off indicates that the link is down, on indicates that the link is up, and blinking indicates traffic. Physical characteristics:The circuit board is a low-profile add-in card as defined in the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Rev. 2.0: height 69mm (exclusive of the PCI faceplate), length 99mm (exclusive of the PCI faceplate and connectors), total thickness 22mm, weight 54.4g (0.120 pound) including the standard PCI faceplate. The Network Adapter can be supplied with either a standard PCI faceplate (10G-PCIE-8B-C) or a low-profile PCI faceplate (10G-PCIE-8BL-C). Power:The Network Adapter is powered from 3.3V from the PCI Express port. Under conditions of maximal bidirectional traffic between the network port and the host, the Network Adapter consumes 5.1 Watts typical, 5.4 Watts maximum. Environmental:Operating: Temperature 0C to 55C up to 10,000 foot altitude with 100LFM minimum airflow. Relative humidity 15% to 80% @ 50C, non-condensing. Storage: Temperature -40C to 70C. Relative humidity 90% @ 65C. Regulatory Approvals:Fully compliant with TAA, EN55024 (1998 w/A1: 2001 & A2: 2003), EN55022 (1998) Class A, AS/NZS 3548 (1005 W/A1 & A2: 97) Class A, CISPR 22 (1997) Class A, FCC Part 15 Subpart B Section 15.109 Class A, VCCI (April 2000) Class A, & ICES-003 Class A (ANSI C63.4 1992). See the Index of Myri-10G Regulatory Reports. Reduction of Hazardous Substances:These network adapters are RoHS-compliant lead-free (RoHS-6). Country of Origin (COO):These network adapters are COO U.S.A. Myricom-supported software:These network adapters may use the included (bundled) Myri10GE software for 10-Gigabit Ethernet operation, or optional software distributions including MX-10G™, VideoPump™, Sniffer10G™, or DBL™.
