I/O devices allow your managed system to gather, store, and transmit data. I/O devices are found in the server unit itself and in expansion units and towers that are attached to the server. I/O devices can be embedded into the unit, or they can be installed into physical slots.
Not all types of I/O devices are supported for all operating systems or on all server models. For example, Switch Network Interface (SNI) adapters are supported only on certain server models, and are not supported for i5/OS® logical partitions. Also, I/O processors (IOPs) are supported only on i5/OS logical partitions.
