Neterion Xframe® E 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server & Storage Adapter Xframe E is the newest member of Neterion’s Xframe 10 Gigabit Ethernet product family. PCI-Express (PCIe) is a next-generation I/O interconnect standard that is rapidly gaining traction in the server and storage world. The pairing of Neterion’s industry-leading Xframe technology with PCIe means that best-in-class Ethernet performance is available to more servers than ever before. The Xframe product family offers a unique multi-channel device model. A total of eight independent transmit and receive paths are available and each path may be prioritized for true Quality-of-Service support. By combining this novel architecture with the power of Extended Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X), Neterion has established a leading-edge framework for I/O Virtualization. Capitalizing on Ethernet, a proven industry standard for 30 years, the Xframe E adapter allows end-users to preserve their existing environment: operating systems, network administration tools, core cabling, personnel training, and network infrastructure. Xframe E dramatically increases network performance, eliminates bottlenecks resulting from the explosion of data volume, frees-up server and user-level bandwidth, boosts application response, and significantly improves data backup times. Xframe E is fully compliant with both the PCIe 1.1 specification and the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. The adapter connects to the host system using a PCIe x4 connector. On the network side, Xframe E utilizes industry- standard SR and LR optical transponders. All Xframe products include full IPv4 and IPv6 support, combined with comprehensive stateless offloads that preserve the integrity of current TCP/IP implementations without “breaking the stack.” Xframe drivers are available for all major Operating Systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux (included in the kernel), Hewlett- Packard HP-UX, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris and SGI Irix. All Neterion products are designed to be fully software forward-compatible with future releases. Test results from leading OEM evaluation labs on the features and benefits of Xframe E, compared to 1 Gigabit Ethernet: • Up to 7x higher throughput • 50% lower latency • TCP processing overhead reduced by 40% • Up to 7-fold reduction in cabling expense Xframe E Features and Benefits Xframe E is based on a sophisticated ASIC state machine architecture with built-in HA/RAS (High Availability/Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) features that provide the highest performance and reliability available. • 8 virtual transmit and receive paths that may be prioritized for QoS • Extensive Protocol Offloads and Assists reduce host processing loads,   while optimizing bus utilization • “Deep-Split Bus Transaction Capacity” provides full PCI Express   bus utilization while achieving the industry’s lowest latency • Flexible interrupt features include INTA, PCI 2.2 Message   Signaled Interrupt (MSI), and next generation MSI-X • True QoS (Quality of Service) support for up to 8 levels,   allowing traffic to be classified, prioritized, and queued at line rate • On-board memory drastically reduces performance-degrading   link-layer flow control • Turn-key driver support for all major Operating Systems and   server architectures (Custom driver development is also available) • ECC (SEC/DED) protection for all on-board data and control   structures as well as state machine protection • “Carrier Grade” environmentals for power, thermal, and   noise characteristics • Modular design permits connectivity options for multi mode   or single mode fiber deployment Specifications Advanced Features • TCP Checksum Offload (Tx and Rx; IPv4 and IPv6) • TCP Large Send Offload support for segments   up to 64 KB (plus headers) • TCP Large Receive Offload • UDP Checksum Offload (Tx and Rx; IPv4 and IPv6) • UDP “Checksum Over Fragment” Offload   (IPv4 and IPv6) for transactions up to 64 KB • UDP Large Send Offload (IP fragmentation)   for transactions up to 64 KB • Advanced packet classification and prioritization features • IPv4 Header Checksum Offload (Tx and Rx) • IP Differentiated Services support • Advanced Flow Control features   (RED – Random Early Detection) • 32 MB Rx Frame Buffer   (host-configurable into prioritized queues) • Support for up to 8 concurrent PCIe split transactions • Adaptive Interrupt Coalescence • PCI Physical Pin (INTA) Interrupt support • PCI Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI)   support for up to 32 unique interrupts • PCI Extended Message Interrupt (MSI-X)   support for up to 64 unique interrupts • Extended-MSI (XMSI) support for up to 64 unique interrupts • End-to-end SEC/DED ECC protection for all on-board control   and data structures • Redundant-State-Variable State Machine Error Protection   for all on-board state machines Standards Support • PCIe 1.1 host interface • DIX/802.3 FCS Offload for Tx and Rx frames • 802.3ad “Slow Protocol” frame support • 802.3ad Link Aggregation support • 802.1Q VLAN tag support (Tx append and Rx strip) • 802.1D (ex. 802.1p) QoS support   (Rx frame steering across up to 8 queues) • Jumbo Frame support (up to 9600 Bytes) • 802.3X Pause Frame support (in hardware) • Unicast/Multicast Rx frame filtering for up to 256 address/   mask pairs • Microsoft Receive Side Scaling Support • ACPI power management support Network Management 64-bit MAC Statistics include: • MIB Statistics • MIB2 Statistics • MIB2 Extension • RMON Statistics • RMON 2 Statistics • Automated DMA transfer of all statistics to host memory Physical Dimensions and Environmental • Bus Type – PCIe • Bus Width – x4 • Bus Speed – 2.5 Gb/s per lane per direction • Power Consumption: 12W (typical) • Operating Temperature: 0 to 55° C • Operating Humidity: 5 to 95% • Length: 6.6” long (Half Length) • Height: 4.2” tall (Full Height) Physical Media  Description Optical: 850nm SR Optical: 1310nm LR Distance 300m 10km Connector LC LC Cable Type Multi Mode Fiber Single Mode Fiber For additional information, options and pricing about our ThinkCP™ products, please contact our sales representatives - (800)726-2477 or email - SalesDesk AT ThinkCP.com Copyright © 1997 - 2008 H.
