vi IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low Profile PCI Management Adapter

Chapter 1. Introduction to the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low
Profile PCI Management Adapter
This chapter describes the adapter, the contents of the adapter kits, and the other
materials you will need to install the adapter.
It is important that you are familiar with the computer in which the adapter will be
installed and the computer’s operating system and network software.
The IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low Profile PCI Management Adapter is a 32-bit,
bus-master, token-ring adapter for the PCI bus architecture. The unique,
high-quality filter design supports connection to a token-ring network that is wired
with shielded twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling. The
adapter can be used in PCI-compatible slots that operate at speeds up to 33 MHz.
Features of this adapter include:
vDesigned for use in low profile PCI systems.
vAdapter management capability that is provided by SNMP.
vDesktop Management Interface (DMI) provided by the LAN Adapter Management
Agent. For an end-to-end management solution, you can use the agent in
conjunction with the Nways
®
Workgroup Manager Version 1.1 or later and Nways
Manager for AIX
®
Version 1.2 or later.
vAutomatic ring-speed detection.
vSupport for a wide variety of network operating systems and network
applications.
vSupport for full-duplex (FDX), token-ring LAN operation.
vSupport for microcode update.
vAutomatic configuration of I/O, memory, ROM space, and interrupt level by PCI
BIOS on power-up.
vThe IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low Profile PCI Management Adapter uses less than 1
watt of power.
See IBM Token-Ring Adapter Features for information regarding the following
features:
vPreboot Execution Environment (PXE)
vLAN Adapter Management Agent
vRoute Switching
vClass of Service
vTivoli

3. Install the adapter hardware. See “Chapter 2. Installing the adapter hardware”
on page 5.
4. Install the adapter software. See “Chapter 3. Software installation”on page 7.
After the software is installed, installation is complete.
Package contents
The IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low Profile PCI Management Adapter comes with the
following features:
vAutomatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)/PCI power management
feature
vWake on LAN feature
These features are described in the following sections.
Automatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
If your computer supports ACPI, then it has built-in energy-saving capabilities.
When ACPI is enabled (usually through the computer BIOS settings), the operating
system is allowed to control the power management features of your computer. Not
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported. Refer to your computer system
documentation to determine if ACPI BIOS is offered and the method by which it can
be enabled. The adapter implements the PCI Bus Power Management Interface
Specification Version 1.0 that works together with ACPI. Under control of the
operating system, the adapter (and the entire system) can be placed in various
power-saving modes and be dynamically configured to look for network
protocol-specific events. Upon detection of these events, the adapter can signal a
wake-up condition which will bring the system to a fully-powered (operational) state.
Some systems might need to be configured through BIOS settings
(configuration/setup utilities) to allow PCI devices to wake a system. Refer to your
computer system documentation for automatic power-on feature settings (or PCI
wake-up features).
Wake on LAN
Adapters that support this feature can turn on a system that is powered off. The
adapter uses an auxiliary 3-volt power pin that is available on the PCI bus
beginning with PCI version 2.2. No additional auxiliary power cables are required.
The 3-volt PCI auxiliary power pin supplies power to the adapter. A control register
on the adapter determines whether the adapter is powered on by the 3-volt auxiliary
power source. This register is controlled by the system BIOS. If the BIOS enables
the control register bit, then the adapter always has a source of power, even when
the system is powered off (system power cord is connected to a live power outlet).
When the system is powered off, the adapter automatically inserts into the network
and looks for a special frame. This frame is commonly referred to as a magic
packet. Upon detection of the magic packet, the adapter signals the system to turn
on the power supply, thus turning on the computer system. The magic packet is a
frame sent by another computer system usually running an application that provides
remote system management.
2IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Low Profile PCI Management Adapter

Attention: Some PCs with multiple PCI slots that support Wake on LAN and
3.3-volt auxiliary power may not have an adequate 3.3-volt power supply to power
more than just a few of the slots with auxiliary 3.3 volts. Check with your PC
supplier to determine the number of PCI slots that can be concurrently populated,
and still meet the current limit of 375 mA per slot (for auxiliary 3.3 volts). This limit
is specified in the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification Revision 1.1.
