Intel^® 82598EB 10 GbE Controller - Trace Length Restrictions
Figure 8-7. NC-SI Maximum Trace Length Requirement Between the 82598 and External BMC
for Direct Connect Applications.
For multi-drop applications, we have a spacing recommendation of maximum four inches between the
two packages connected to the same BMC. This is done to keep the overall length between the BMC and
the network controller within specification.
