Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements
for the feature code (FC) 5286 adapter.
Overview
The
PCIe2
LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is the low-profile version
of the FC 5288 adapter, which is the full-height adapter. The names
of these adapters are:
- FC 5286: PCIe2
LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter
- FC 5288: PCIe2 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter
The
PCIe2
LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is a generation-2, PCIe low-profile
adapter that provides two 10 Gb copper small form-factor pluggable
transceiver (SFP+) ports for connectivity with other servers or switches
in the network. Each port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal
data rate of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), and they use SFP+ copper
twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length.
Note: The SFP+ twinaxial
copper cables have connectors that are not the same as the AS/400® 5250 connector, the CX4
connector, or the 10 GBASE-T connector.
Each port has
a maximum speed of 10 Gbps.
The FC 5286 requires an available
slot in FC 5685 (PCIe Riser Card (generation-2)).
For details about slot priorities and placement
rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for your system.

Cables
Feature code 5286 requires
the use of compatible SFP+, 10 Gbps, copper, twinaxial, active, Ethernet
cables. See
Figure 1 for
a view of the cable top and cable bottom. These cables are compliant
with industry standard specifications SFF-8431 Rev 4.1 and SFF-8472
Rev 10.4, and all applicable
IBM® i requirements.
Note: These
cables are EMC Class A compliant.
The cables contain
a unique vital product data (VPD) card that includes the vendor name,
part number, EC number, serial number, and date of manufacture. See
Table 1 for details about the feature codes.
