IBM 5735 8 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter
Enhance your system's connectivity with the IBM 5735 adapter, designed for high-speed data transfer in demanding environments. This dual-port PCIe solution delivers reliable performance at up to 8 Gbps, ensuring seamless integration with Fibre Channel networks.
Product Description
The IBM 5735 is a high-performance PCI Express dual-port Fibre Channel adapter, featuring CCIN 577D and part number 10N9824. Based on the Emulex LPe12002 host bus adapter, it provides robust connectivity for IBM Power Systems. Each of the two ports supports single initiator capability over optical fiber links, utilizing LC-type connectors and shortwave laser optics. Link speeds automatically negotiate to 2, 4, or 8 Gbps, matching the connected device's capabilities for optimal throughput.
Key specifications include a PCIe x8 interface in a short form factor, making it suitable for various slot configurations. Status LEDs on each port offer quick visual indicators for link activity and speed. The adapter supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) through the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS), enabling efficient resource allocation in virtualized setups.
This adapter excels in scenarios requiring fast, dependable storage networking, with built-in features for error detection and recovery to maintain data integrity. It adheres to Fibre Channel standards, ensuring broad interoperability.
