Functional Architecture Intel® Server System SR1640TH TPS 2.4.8 Network Interface Controller (NIC) The server boards S3420TH in Intel® Server System SR1640TH support three network interfaces, two is provided from the onboard Intel® 82574L GbE PCI Express* network controllers; the third one is the onboard 10/100Mbps KSZ8041NL Network controller, only enabled by RMM3 Lite-V module for management. 2.4.8.1 GigE Controller 82574L The 82574 family (82574L and 82574IT) are single, compact, low-power components that offer a fully-integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) port. The 82574 uses the PCI Express* architecture and provides a single-port implementation in a relatively small area so it can be used for server and client configurations as a LAN on Motherboard (LOM) design. External interfaces provided on the 82574: PCIe Rev. 2.0 (2.5 GHz) x1 MDI (Copper) standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASETX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab) NC-SI or SMBus connection to a Manageability Controller (MC) EEE 1149.1 JTAG (note that BSDL testing is NOT supported) 2.4.8.2 Dedicated 10/100Mbps management port The KSZ8041NL network PHY is connected to iBMC through RMMII interface as dedicated management port. This port can only work with Intel® RMM3 Lite-V module installed. 2.4.8.3 MAC Address Definition Each computing node in Intel® Server System SR1640HT has the following four MAC addresses assigned to it at the Intel factory: ƒ NIC 1 MAC address ƒ NIC 2 MAC address - Assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +1 ƒ Integrated BMC LAN Channel MAC address - Assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +2 ƒ Intel® Remote Management Module 3 (Intel® RMM3 Lite-V) MAC address - Assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +3 2.4.9 Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) The Intel® 3420 PCH provides hardware support for implementation of Intel® Virtualization Technology with Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of technology components that support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel® Architecture Processor. Intel VT-d Technology enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in dependent partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated its own subset of host physical memory. The Intel® Virtualization Technology is designed to support multiple software environments sharing the same hardware resources. The Intel® Virtualization Technology can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS setup. The default behavior is disabled. Note: If the setup options are changed to enable or disable the Virtualization Technology setting in the processor, the user must perform an AC power cycle for the changes to take effect. 20 Revision 1.0 Intel order number: E94847-001

2.4.8
Network Interface Controller (NIC)
The server boards S3420TH in Intel
®
Server System SR1640TH support three network
interfaces, two is provided from the onboard Intel
®
82574L GbE PCI Express* network
controllers; the third one is the onboard 10/100Mbps KSZ8041NL Network controller, only

2.4.8.1
GigE Controller 82574L
The 82574 family (82574L and 82574IT) are single, compact, low-power components that
offer a fully-integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer
(PHY) port. The 82574 uses the PCI Express* architecture and provides a single-port
implementation in a relatively small area so it can be used for server and client
configurations as a LAN on Motherboard (LOM) design.

±
Integrated BMC LAN Channel MAC address – Assigned the NIC 1 MAC address +2
±
Intel
®
Remote Management Module 3 (Intel
®
RMM3 Lite-V) MAC address – Assigned
the NIC 1 MAC address +3

Intel
®
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel
®
VT-d)
The Intel
®
3420 PCH provides hardware support for implementation of Intel
®
Virtualization
Technology with Directed I/O (Intel
®
VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of technology
components that support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel
®
Architecture
Processor. Intel VT-d Technology enables multiple operating systems and applications to
run in dependent partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides
isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated its own subset of host
physical memory.
The Intel
®
Virtualization Technology is designed to support multiple software environments
sharing the same hardware resources. The Intel
®
Virtualization Technology can be enabled
or disabled in the BIOS setup. The default behavior is disabled.
Note:
If the setup options are changed to enable or disable the Virtualization Technology
setting in the processor, the user must perform an AC power cycle for the changes
to take effect.
