The PCI Token ring adapter allows users to easily integrate Hewlett-Packard PCI servers into existing Token ring environments. This option allows the customer investment protection of their
existing environment while upgrading to Hewlett-Packard's latest high-performance servers.
The PCI Token ring adapter supports the IEEE 802.5 Token-Ring standards definition. The adapter supports networking on the V-Class systems via the PCI bus specifications on HP-UX 11.00.
The PCI Token ring adapter runs at 16 or 4 Mbps over STP cabling (via a RJ-45 connector or 9-pin, D-shell connector) and UTP (via a RJ-45 connector) without the need for user selection. No more
than one data cable may be connected to the PCI Token ring adapter at a time. The adapter also operates in full-duplex mode when connected to a full duplex capable switch (Dedicated Token
ring#0S2:DTR).
The PCI Token ring NIC operates at a bus speed of 33 MHz, is based on the 3x5 inch Form Factor, requires no switches to be set for installation and is PCI 2.0 and 2.1 compliant.
