AIX and Linux PCI adapters

Learn about PCI adapters supported on IBM® Power Systems™ models running the AIX® and Linux® operating systems.

Note: Not all adapters are supported on all models. Supported adapters are subject to change. This topic does not replace the latest sales and marketing publications and tools that document supported features. To confirm that a specific adapter is supported on a specific configuration, see the Prerequisites for adding or moving PCI adapters.

19xx features are not supported on machine type 940x and associated I/O expansion units.

AIX is not supported on the 0588 and 5088 I/O expansion units.

AIX and Linux PCI and PCI-X adapters shows PCI and PCI-X adapters. AIX and Linux PCIe adapters shows the PCI Express™ adapters. All adapters support extended error handling (EEH).

AIX and Linux PCI and PCI-X adapters

See the following table to learn about adapters that can by used on Power Systems models running the AIX and Linux operating system.

When using these adapters on machine type 940x models, follow the same placement guidelines and restrictions documented in the PCI adapter placement for machine types 82xx and 91xx.
