PCIe4 x8 2-port Fibre Channel (32 Gb/s); (FC EN1J and EN1K; CCIN 579C)

Overview

FC EN1J and EN1K are electronically identical. FC EN1J is a full-height adapter and FC EN1K is a low-profile adapter. The physical difference is that EN1J has a tail stock for full height PCIe slots and EN1K has a short tail stock for low profile PCIe slots. Both feature codes have the same CCIN 579C.

The PCIe Gen4 32 Gigabit two port optical Fibre Channel (FC) adapter is a high-performance x8 short form adapter. The adapter provides two ports of 32 Gb Fibre Channel capability by using SR optics. Each port can provide up to 6,400 MBps bandwidth per port. Each port provides single initiator capability over a fibre link or with NPIV, multiple initiator capabilities is provided. The adapter includes 32 Gb SR optical transceivers that are installed. The ports have LC type connectors and use shortwave laser optics. The adapter operates at link speeds of 8, 16, and 32 Gbps and automatically negotiates to the highest speed possible. The adapter can be started on IBM Power Systems with FCode.
