(Only available as REFURBISHED as of October 1, 2006)

Provides a 1Gbps iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter which encapsulates SCSI Commands and data into TCP and transports them over the Ethernet via IP packets. The adapter operates as an iSCSI TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine). This offload of the host eliminates protocol processing and reduces CPU interrupts. The adapter uses small form factor LC type fiber optic connector.

This iSCSI adapter can be used to initiate requests to external storage devices from AIX 5L and Linux partitions.
