Compatibility
The IBM EJ20 PCIe x16 Optical Cable Adapter is compatible with IBM Power Systems models, including 8286-41A (Power S814), 8286-42A (Power S824), 8247-21L/22L/42L (Power S821LC, S822LC, S824LC), 8408-44E/E8E (Power E850C), 9009-22A/41A/42A (Power S922, S914, S924), 9040-MR9 (Power E950), and 9080-MHE/MME/9119-MHE/MME (Power E980, E870, E880), as verified for their PCIe3 slot support. It connects to a PCIe Gen3 I/O Expansion Drawer (EMX0) with a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module (EMXH) using active optical cables (e.g., ECCR, ECCX, ECCY, ECCZ) or copper cables (ECCS, not supported on E980). The adapter supports IBM i 7.3, 7.2 TR4, or 7.1 with resave level RS-710-S, as well as AIX, Linux, and VIOS. It is not compatible with older fanout modules (EMXF, EMXG, ELMF, ELMG), non-PCIe3 systems, or non-CXP cables. Ideal for expanding PCIe slot capacity, it supports enterprise applications like virtualization and database management, ensuring scalability and reliability.
