Product Description
The IBM 42H3470 is a specialized network adapter card designed to provide Token Ring connectivity for legacy computer systems. Featuring a standard RJ-45 connector, it supports both 16 Mbps and 4 Mbps Token Ring network speeds, making it compatible with a range of older networking infrastructures. This adapter is particularly useful for maintaining or integrating older IBM machines into existing networks that still utilize Token Ring technology. In addition to its Token Ring capabilities, the 42H3470 includes a DB-9 serial port. This secondary port can be utilized for various purposes, such as console access, modem connections, or interfacing with other serial devices, adding a layer of versatility to the adapter. The card utilizes the ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus, which was prevalent in older PC architectures, ensuring compatibility with motherboards from that era. This adapter is an excellent solution for organizations that need to support legacy hardware or maintain connectivity with older IBM servers and workstations. Its robust design and specific functionality make it a valuable component for environments where upgrading entire systems is not feasible or desirable. The IBM 42H3470 ensures that older IBM hardware can continue to participate in network operations.
