Linux PCI adapters

The PCI adapters listed in this section are supported on IBM® System i5® and eServer™ i5 models running the Linux® operating system.

Cards controlled by a Linux operating system do not use or require PCI IOPs.

The model 515 will support these feature codes: 0620, 0621 0647, 5700, 5701, 5706, 5707, 5721, 5722, and 5727.
