Change History Changes in the May 5 update: Added SR645 and SR665 to the server support table - section Added OS support for ThinkSystem Broadcom 5719 1GbE RJ45 4-port OCP Ethernet Adapter, 4XC7A08235 - section Introduction The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters are a family of high performance PCIe and OCP adapters. The adapters are available with either two ports or four ports and are supported on ThinkSystem and System x servers. Figure 1 shows the Broadcom NetXtreme I Quad Port GbE Adapter. Figure 1. Broadcom NetXtreme I Quad Port GbE Adapter Did you know? The NetXtreme Quad Port Ethernet Adapter is an ideal way to implement a virtualization solution using your existing Gigabit Ethernet network. With four copper-based Gigabit ports on a single PCI Express x4 interface, the adapter provides the density and capacity you need to support large numbers of virtualized systems on one server. Part number information The following table lists the ordering information for the adapters. The part numbers for the PCIe adapters include the following items: One Ethernet adapter with full-height ( bracket Low profile ( bracket Documentation flyer The following figure shows the Broadcom 5719 1GbE RJ45 4-port OCP Ethernet Adapter. Figure 2.
