Product Description
IBM EMXF PCIe3 6-Slot Fanout Module 00TK674
The IBM EMXF 00TK674 is a PCIe Gen3 6-slot fanout module designed for the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O Expansion Drawer (FC EMX0). It provides six additional PCIe Gen3 adapter slots per module, enabling scalable I/O expansion for IBM Power Systems servers requiring high-bandwidth network, storage, or accelerator cards.
Installed in pairs (two EMXF modules per EMX0 drawer), it supports up to 12 PCIe Gen3 slots in the 4U EMX0 enclosure, connected via PCIe3 optical cables to the host system's PCIe3 host bridge adapter. The module features blind-swap cassettes for hot-plug adapter replacement without system downtime and is optimized for high-performance workloads in AIX, IBM i, and Linux environments.
Compatible with Power8, Power9, and Power10 servers equipped with appropriate PCIe3 host bridge adapters (e.g., #EJ08/#EJ07 or #EJ19/#EJ1R), the EMXF delivers flexible, high-density I/O expansion for virtualization, databases, analytics, AI, and cloud deployments. It supports a wide range of PCIe adapters including NICs, HBAs, and GPUs.
The IBM EMXF PCIe3 6-Slot Fanout Module (00TK674) is backed by a 60-day warranty, providing assurance in its quality and operation.
