IBM i Series 8205-E6B (#5276) - PCIe LP 4Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Adapter</p><p>This feature is the Low Profile (LP) equivalent of feature number 5774. The 4 Gigabit Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a 64-bit address/data, short form factor PCIe adapter with an LC type external fiber connector. With the use of appropriate optical fiber cabling, this adapter provides the capability for a network of high-speed local and remote located storage. The adapter will auto-negotiate for the highest data rate between adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable. Between the adapter and an attaching device or switch, the distances supported are up to: 500 meters running at 1 Gbps data rate, 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and 150 meters running at 4 Gbps data rate. When used with IBM Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, distances of up to 10 kilometers are capable running at either 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.</p><p>The 4 Gigabit PCIe Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel Switches. If attaching a device or switch with a SC type fiber connector(s), use of an LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2456) or a LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2459) is required.</p><p>Refer to the following IBM storage subsystem Web page for additional supported server attachment information for IBM devices.</p><p>http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/product/products_pseries.html</p><p>Consult with your IBM representative or Business Partner for additional information relative to any third party attachment.</p><p>Attributes provided: Dual-port Fibre channel</p><p>Attributes required: 1 Low Profile (LP) slot</p><p>For 8202-E4B: (#5276)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 4 (Initial order maximum: 4)</p><p>OS level required:</p><p>AIX Version 5.3 supported</p><p>AIX Version 6.1 supported</p><p>AIX Version 7.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 6.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 7.1 supported</p><p>SUSE Linux supported</p><p>Red Hat Linux supported</p><p>Refer to Software Requirements for specific O/S levels supported</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note:</p><p>Maximum of 4 supported in the CEC
