Product Overview
The AD144A PCI-X 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards have the following features and requirements;
• PCI-X 133 MHz, 64-bit operation. Best performance is achieved by putting the cards in the
high-performance or “dual rope” slots. To identify which slots are the high-performance (dual rope) slots
in a particular system, refer to the hardware users’ guide for each system.
• Interrupt Migration using the intctl command.
• Two LED indicators and one duplex LC connector. One LED is for the Link and one LED is for Activity.
• The 10GbE Base-SR port operates only at 10Gbit/s and only in full-duplex mode.
• The 10 Gigabit Ethernet port supports use of Jumbo Frames. The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for
using jumbo frames with the driver on Windows Server 2003, Windows 64-bit is 9600 bytes.
• Supports TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) of IPv4.
