Card Description
Information in this chapter is from a Gigabit PCI Express card specification available at http://www.silicom-usa.com/default.asp?contentID=1245
The quad-port copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express card is a network interface card that contain multiple independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. The PCI Express server adapter card provides a fully integrated up to Layer 5 solution along with a complete Gigabit
Ethernet ports.
Figure 1-1 shows the quad-port Copper Gigabit Ethernet card.

•
“Connecting to the Network” on page 5
Installing the Card
The installation instructions for the Gigabit Ethernet card are different for different systems. Refer to the following sources for installation instructions:
• Altix XE250: See the instructions for installing a PCI-E card in the user’s or owner’s guide that came with your system.
• Altix XE310: See the instructions for installing a PCI-E card in the user’s or owner’s guide that came with your system.
• Altix XE320: See the instructions for installing a PCI-E card in the user’s or owner’s guide that came with your system.
Connecting to the Network
To connect your copper Gigabit Ethernet card to a network, insert the RJ45 connector on
one end of the copper cable into the Gigabit Ethernet card, as shown in Figure 2-1. Make
sure the connector is inserted completely into the jack, and then insert the connector on the other end of the copper cable into the jack on the Ethernet switch, or another computer system (as appropriate).

Using LEDs to Determine Card Functionality
The copper Gigabit Ethernet cards have light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate whether the card is configured correctly and connected to an active Ethernet, as discussed in the following sections.
The copper Gigabit Ethernet card has three LEDs per ports. Table 3-1 describes the
functions of these LEDs.

Resetting the Card
In the unlikely event that you need to reset the copper Gigabit Ethernet card, enter the following:
ifconfig <
interface
> down ifconfig <
interface
> up
where interface is name of the interface. This is usually a driver name followed by a unit number, for example, ifconfig eth0 down
, for the first Ethernet interface.

For more information on ifconfig
, see the ifconfig
(8) man page.
Configuration Parameters
Configuration changes for Ethernet devices drivers are made by means of the ethtool
(8) command. The ethtool command works with all Linux Ethernet drivers.
In general, each feature has a query
and a modify
variant. If you are wondering whether the current driver and ethtool
support a specific feature, attempt to run the query
option first, an example is, as follows:
# ethtool -a eth2
Pause parameters for eth2:
Autonegotiate: on
RX: on
TX: on
This shows the current settings of the pause
(or flow control) parameters. You can then change these parameters with the ethtool -A
option.
As with any system configuration changes, make sure to have a back out strategy, read the most recent documentation for potential changes and pitfalls, and consult with a relevant Linux archives for examples of common usage.

Glossary
007-5515-001 acknowledge (Ack) packet
The Ack packet informs the PE that initiated a message that the destination PE accepted the message.
autonegotiation
The process by which two computers (or a computer and a switch) connected by Gigabit
Ethernet determine the speed and other parameters with which they will communicate.
CD-ROM (CD)
A flat metallic disk that contains information that you can view and copy onto your own hard disk; you cannot change or add to the disk. CD-ROM is an abbreviation for compact disc read-only memory.
Ethernet
A communication network used to connect computers.
gigabit
A communication rate of 2^30 bits per second.
host
Any system connected to the network.
hostname
The name that uniquely identifies each host (system) on the network.
IP address
A number that uniquely identifies each host (system) on a TCP/IP network.
LED
Light-emitting diode, a light on a piece of hardware that indicates status or error conditions.

MAC
Medium access control, also called the physical layer.
MAC address
The physical address of the Gigabit Ethernet board, which is distinct from the IP address.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit is a configuration parameter that controls the size of the
Ethernet frames that the Gigabit Ethernet board can transmit and receive.
man (manual) page
An online document that describes how to use a particular Linux command. Also called reference page.
NIS
Network Information Service, a distributed database mechanism for user accounts, host names, mail aliases, and so on.
PCI
Peripheral Component Interconnect, a bus specification. The PCI bus is a high-performance local bus used to connect peripherals to memory and a microprocessor. Many vendors offer devices that plug into the PCI bus.
PCI Express
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express) is a computer expansion card standard introduced by Intel corporation in 2004 and is still widely used today.
reference page
See man (manual) page.
TCP/IP
A standard networking protocol that is included in the Linux software.
