PCIe3 x8 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter (16 Gb/s); (FC EN1G and EN1H; CCIN 579B)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN1G and EN1H adapters.
Overview
The FC EN1G and EN1H are electronically identical. FC EN1G is a full-height adapter and FC EN1H is a low-profile adapter.
The PCIe3 x8 dual-port Fibre Channel (16 Gb/s) adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x8 adapter. This PCIe adapter is based on the Marvell QLE2692 PCIe host bus adapter 15.2 cm x 7 cm (6.6 inches x 2.7 inches). The adapter provides two ports of 16 Gb Fibre Channel capability by using SR optics. Each port can provide up to 16 Gb fibre channel functions simultaneously. Each port provides single initiator capability over a fiber optic link or with N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) it provides multiple initiator capabilities. The ports are small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) and include an optical SR transceiver. The ports have LC-type connectors and use shortwave laser optics. The adapter operates at link speeds of 4, 8, and 16 Gbps and it automatically negotiates to the highest speed possible. The adapter can be started on IBM Power Systems with FCode.
