DellDell PowerEdge R910 Technical Guide 3210 Embedded NICs/LAN on Motherboard (LOM)10.1 OverviewThe Dell™ PowerEdge™ R910 supports two options for Embedded NICs (I/O riser card): 4-port 1GbE using 2x Broadcom 5709c 4-port (2 x 10Gb SFP+ & 2 x 1GbE) using 1 x Broadcom 57711 & 1 x Broadcom 5709ciSCSI offload is standard on both options.10.2 Option 1: 1GbE I/O riserTwo dual-port Broadcom BCM5709C Gigabit Ethernet controllers with support circuitry are embeddedon the R910 1GbE IO riser board. Features of the LAN device include: x4 PCI Express Gen2 capable interface (R910 operates dual-port controllers at Gen1 speed) MAC and PHY integrated 3072x18 Byte context memory 64 KB receive buffer TOE (TCP Offload Engine) iSCSI controller RDMA controller (RNIC) (enabled through an optional hardware key) NC-SI (Network Controller-Sideband Interface) connection Wake-On-LAN (WOL) PXE 2.0 remote boot iSCSI boot IPv4 and IPv6 support Bare metal deployment support10.3 Option 2: 10Gb I/O riserIn addition to a Broadcom BCM5709C dual port Ethernet controller, there is a dual-port 10 Gb MACcontroller along with the external PHY embedded on the R910 10 Gb IO riser board. The devices areBroadcom BCM57711 Gigabit MAC with BCM8727 SFP+ PHY. Features include: x8 PCI Express Gen2 capable interface SFP+ interface supported with SR and LRM optics or direct attached cable TOE (TCP Offload Engine) iSCSI controller RDMA controller (RNIC) (enabled through an optional hardware key) NC-SI (Network Controller-Sideband Interface) connection Wake-On-LAN (WOL) PXE 2.0 remote boot iSCSI boot IPv4 and IPv6 support Bare metal deployment supportFour functional power supplies (2+2 configuration) are required to use the 10Gb I/O riser.
