IBM System x3690 X5 18Network adaptersThe x3690 X5 offers two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports, based on the Broadcom BCM5709C controller.Some models also have an Emulex 10Gb Dual-port Ethernet Adapter (feature 1648) installed as standardin Slot 5. See Table 2 for specifics. This adapter is functionally identical to the Emulex 10Gb Virtual FabricAdapter for IBM System x, 49Y4250. The difference is that the Emulex 10Gb Dual-port Ethernet Adapterhas a longer edge connector meaning that the card can only be installed in this server. For technicaldetails about this card, see theEmulex 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter for IBM System x, TIPS0762,at-a-glance guide available at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0762.html.The following table lists additional supported network adapters.Table 18.
