Re: 520 Upgrade Planning

Glen,
As previously mentioned several times they are copper and won't run SNA. They are essentially 5706 on the planar board. You should understand they cannot be used for LAN console either. They also should NOT be considered redundant. If you are connecting redundant Ethernet (as I Strongly recommend) you will want another card on another bus that is the redundant card.

We're planning for an i5/520 upgrade and wondering if the embedded Gig-E
Ethernet ports on the 520 system unit were copper or fibre connections.
The documentation implies it can run 10/100/1000 mps, so I'm thinking
these must be copper.  Can anyone confirm this?

TIA,
Glenn
