Targeted to servers and high-performance workstations, ForeRunnerHE NICs set a new standard for high-performance network connectivity. Servers are the brain centers of any computing-based enterprise. But a server is only useful if you can access it efficiently. The explosion of Internet and intranet installations, along with increased processor speeds, have led to higher demands on server resources. As computing demands increase, so does the need for high-performance network connectivity. ForeRunnerHE NICs deliver 155 Mbps and 622 Mbps of full-duplex connectivity, with software support for multiple cards in a system. Superior Architecture and Superior Performance Utilizing 33/66 MHz PCI bus speeds and 64-bit data transfer options, ForeRunnerHE NICs ensure the maximum performance allowed by standards. With silicon support for the ATM Forum ABR specification and up to 4,000 active virtual circuits (with any mix of CBR, VBR, UBR, and ABR) ForeRunnerHE NICs provide industry-leading functionality. unleash the power superior architecture www.marconi.com Delivering 155 Mbps and 622 Mbps of full-duplex bandwidth to connect servers directly to ATM backbones, the PCI-based ForeRunnerHE NICs are perfectly designed to manage the band- width demands of data, while still ensuring the Quality of Service (QoS) needed for voice and video. They’re the ideal choice for high-performance server networking. Leveraging the Strengths of ATM ForeRunnerHE NICs eliminate intermediate hops and translation devices between the server and network backbone to measurably increase both LAN and WAN client performance. With 622 Ordering Information Mbps bandwidth, users can aggregate client traffic to relieve network congestion at the server. A 105-1101-100 ForeRunnerHE connection provides the bandwidth required to support hundreds or even thousands 155 Mbps UTP5 RJ-45 of clients without impacting overall network performance. For redundancy, users can load balance 105-1112-100 traffic and have failover capabilities at either 155 Mbps or 622 Mbps. 155 Mbps OC-3 MMF (SC) Marconi’s leadership in ATM comes to the forefront with features such as 33/66 MHz PCI 105-1212-100 support, 64-bit data transfer, TCP checksum calculation, dynamic DMA burst sizes, and multiple 622 Mbps OC-12 MMF (SC) programmable interrupts to make networking efficient and maximize client/server potential. The 105-1232-100 622 Mbps OC-12 SMF (SC) NetPro ASIC, the heart of the ForeRunnerHE NIC, is the industry’s most advanced ATM ASIC — 105-1212-510 with hardware support for ABR, VBR, CBR, and UBR. Using this ASIC, voice, video, and data can be 622 Mbps OC-12 MMF (SC) + OC-12 ATM carried simultaneously via high-performance systems. And because this is Marconi’s fifth generation network module #NM1/622MMSCLC of ATM NIC technology, the user knows Marconi can deliver on its functionality promises. 105-1212-520 622 Mbps OC-12 SMF (SC) + TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OC-12 ATM network module #NM1/622MMSCD Hardware ATM support: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .NetPro ASIC supports UBR, CBR, VBR (ABR SVC ready); OC-3c (155 Mbps) and OC-12c (622.08 Mbps) full-duplex capabilities Environmental: . . . . . . . . .Operating temperature: 5° to 40° C, up to 10,000 ft; Operating humidity: 20 to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing; Storage temperature: -40° to +70° C, up to 30,000 ft DMA support: . . . .384 bytes (write), 1536 bytes for HE 622, 768 bytes for HE 155 (read) maximum burst size PCI bus: . . . . . . . . .Designed to Universal Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.1/2.2 specification PC or server PCI 2.1, 33/66 MHz (66 MHz available only on HE 622), 32-bit addressing, 32- or 64-bit data; 3.3V or 5V; Universal PCI short form factor; cache-line aware design for efficient bus utilization Power requirements Electrical: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 watts @ 5 volts Optical: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .-14 to -20 dBm transmit power (HE 155/HE 622); -14 to -30 dBm receiver sensitivity (HE 155); -14 to -26 dBm receiver sensitivity (HE 622) Connectors and cabling Multimode fiber: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Duplex 62.5 µm/125 µm, 2,000 m maximum, 10 dB loss, SC connectors UTP: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2-pair, 100-ohm Category 5 UTP or Category 5 Screened UTP cable, 100 m maximum, RJ-45 connector Host interface: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Full bus mastering, dynamic burst sizing, multiple programmable interrupts, receive queue prioritization, TCP checksum calculation Memory: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 MB of synchronous DRAM for buffering; support for 4000 VCs Emissions and electrical: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Safety: UL1950/CSA 950, EN60950, EN60825, IEC 825.1, Compliance: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .IEC825.2; EMI: FCC Part 15, Class A, EN55022 Class A, VCCI Class 1, TS016; EMC: EN50082-1, EN50022 Platform support: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II; Sun Microsystems Ultra SPARC; SGI Origin/Onyx 2; DEC Alpha (Windows NT only) Marconi Communications Software North American Headquarters ATM support: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ForeThought software, including MPOA, LANE 1.0, 1000 Fore Drive and CLIP (RFC1577); AAL5, AAL0, and AAL1 support (via AAL0); UNI 3.0/3.1 Warrendale, PA 15086 Value-added software: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Load-balancing/failover software Phone: 724-742-4444 supports multiple IP interfaces in a single system; Lapp QoS for legacy application service guarantees Product Information Industry-standard APIs: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .XTI and WinSock2 for native ATM programming Phone: 1-888-404-0444 Fax: 724-742-7700 Compatibility Matrix Web site: www.marconi.com ForeRunnerHE 155 and 622 support the following machine types and operating systems: ™ Copyright © 2000 Marconi Communications, Inc.
