Product Description
IBM ENZ0 PCIe Gen4 I/O Expansion Drawer for IBM Power11 Servers (Feature ENZ0)
The IBM ENZ0 PCIe Gen4 I/O Expansion Drawer delivers additional high-speed PCIe Gen4 slots for IBM Power11 servers including the Power S1122, S1124, and E1180 models. This 4U rack-mountable drawer provides up to 8 PCIe Gen4 slots per drawer (scalable with multiple drawers) for maximum I/O flexibility, supporting high-performance Fibre Channel, Ethernet, RoCE, and other adapters in demanding IBM i, AIX, and Linux environments.
Designed for seamless integration with ENZF fanout modules, the ENZ0 drawer enables massive scale-out I/O while maintaining full compatibility with PowerVM virtualization and enterprise RAS features.

Compatibility
The IBM ENZ0 PCIe Gen4 I/O Expansion Drawer is compatible with IBM Power Systems running IBM i, including Power11 models 9824-22A (Power S1122) and 9824-42A (Power S1124). Power10 models such as 9105-41B (Power S1014), 9105-22A (Power S1022), 9105-22B (Power S1022s), 9105-42A (Power S1024), 9043-MRX (E1050), and 9080-HEX (E1080). It requires appropriate PCIe Gen4 host bridge adapters (e.g., feature codes for external I/O attach) and cabling in the central electronics complex (CEC). The drawer supports IBM i native I/O adapters for networking, storage, and acceleration. Not compatible with systems lacking external PCIe expansion support or Gen3-only configurations without appropriate bridging. The below features are supported in the ENZ0 expansion drawer:
