The PCI subsystem also supplies these I/O devices: Two Wide Ultra320 SCSI ports, one internal and one external (LSI LSI53C1030 chipset). This SCSI controller supports both single disks and RAID-1 mirrored pairs of disks. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (Broadcom 5704 chipset). The x450 includes a dual-port Broadcom BCM5704 10/100/1000 Base-T MAC (Media Access Controller) on a PCI 64-bit 66 MHz bus. The BCM5704 supports full and half-duplex performance at all speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps, auto-negotiated) and includes integrated on-chip memory for buffering data transmissions to ensure the highest network performance and dual onboard RISC processors for advanced packet parsing and backwards compatibility with today's 10/100 network. The Broadcom controller also includes software support for failover, layer-3 load balancing, and comprehensive diagnostics. Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling is required with RJ-45 connectors. If you plan to implement a Gigabit Ethernet connection, ensure your network infrastructure is capable of the necessary throughput to match the server's I/O capacity. SVGA with 8 MB video memory (ATI RageXL chipset). 22 IBM ^ xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide

PCI slot information
See 3.1.3, “PCI slot configuration” on page 44 for details on what adapters are
supported and in what combinations.
The PCI subsystem also supplies these I/O devices:
±
Two Wide Ultra320 SCSI ports, one internal and one external (LSI
LSI53C1030 chipset). This SCSI controller supports both single disks and
RAID-1 mirrored pairs of disks.
±
Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (Broadcom 5704 chipset).
The x450 includes a dual-port Broadcom BCM5704 10/100/1000 Base-T
MAC (Media Access Controller) on a PCI 64-bit 66 MHz bus.
The BCM5704 supports full and half-duplex performance at all speeds
(10/100/1000 Mbps, auto-negotiated) and includes integrated on-chip
memory for buffering data transmissions to ensure the highest network
performance and dual onboard RISC processors for advanced packet parsing
and backwards compatibility with today's 10/100 network. The Broadcom
controller also includes software support for failover, layer-3 load balancing,
and comprehensive diagnostics.
Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling is required with RJ-45 connectors. If
you plan to implement a Gigabit Ethernet connection, ensure your network
infrastructure is capable of the necessary throughput to match the server’s I/O
capacity.
