Compatibility
The IBM EN0K PCIe3 4-port Adapter is compatible with IBM Power Systems models, specifically 8286-41A, 8286-42A, 8408-44E, 8408-E8E, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9040-MR9, 9080-M9S, 9080-MHE, 9080-MME, 9119-MHE, and 9119-MME, as verified for their PCIe3 x8 slot support. It supports IBM i, AIX, Linux, and VIOS, integrating with IBM Spectrum Virtualize for storage networking. The 10 Gb SFP+ ports use active copper twinax cables (up to 5m), and the 1 Gb RJ45 ports support CAT-5 UTP cables (up to 100m). The adapter is not compatible with non-PCIe3 slots, non-SAS interfaces, or optical transceivers. Ideal for converged networking, it supports enterprise applications like virtualization and storage management with robust error handling.
