Enhance your IBM Power 11 systems with our selection of high-performance Ethernet network adapters. These PCIe-based adapters deliver advanced networking capabilities for scale-out servers (such as S1014, S1022, S1022s, S1024, S1122, S1124, and related models), supporting speeds from 1 GbE to 200 GbE. Options include multi-port configurations with RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for low-latency, high-bandwidth applications in IBM i, AIX, and Linux environments. Adapters feature SFP28, QSFP56, or RJ45 interfaces (copper or fiber), PCIe Gen4/Gen5 compatibility, and hot-swap support where applicable for seamless integration in internal slots or expansion drawers.
| Model/Feature | Part Number | Ports | Speed | Interface/Type | PCIe Generation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IBM EC72 | - | 2 | 25/10/1 GbE | SFP28 (RoCE) | PCIe4 x8 | PCIe4 2-Port 25/10/1 GbE RoCE SFP28 Network Adapter; supports flexible multi-speed Ethernet with RDMA for high-performance, low-latency networking in Power 11 systems. |
| IBM EC86 | - | 2 | 200 GbE | QSFP56 (RoCE) | PCIe5 x16 | PCIe5 2-Port 200 GbE RoCE Adapter; ultra-high-speed networking with QSFP56 for demanding enterprise workloads, compatible with Power 11 Gen5 slots. |
| IBM EN26 | - | 4 | 25/10/1 GbE | SFP28 (RoCE) | PCIe4 x16 | PCIe4 4-Port 25/10/1 GbE RoCE SFP28 Adapter; multi-port high-density solution for aggregated bandwidth and SR-IOV support in virtualized Power 11 environments. |
| IBM EN2W | - | 4 | 10 GbE | RJ45 (BaseT copper) | PCIe3 x8 | PCIe3 4-Port 10GbE BaseT RJ45 Adapter; copper-based connectivity for cost-effective 10 GbE networking in Power 11 systems. |
| IBM EN2Z | - | 4 | 1 GbE | RJ45 (copper) | PCIe2 x4 | PCIe 4-Port 1GbE Adapter; legacy-compatible multi-port Gigabit Ethernet for basic LAN attachment in Power 11 configurations. |
These IBM Ethernet network adapters are compatible with IBM Power 11 systems, including scale-out models such as Power S1014 (9105-41B), S1022 (9105-22A), S1022s (9105-22B), S1024 (9105-42A), S1122 (9824-22A), S1124 (9824-42A), and related servers. They install in available PCIe slots (Gen4/Gen5), supporting RoCE for RDMA-accelerated applications, SR-IOV virtualization, and full-duplex operations. Adapters suit enterprise networking needs for transactional processing, hybrid cloud, AI workloads, and high-availability setups running IBM i, AIX, or Linux. Higher-speed options (e.g., 200 GbE) require Gen5 slots in the system unit.
Every adapter includes a 60-day warranty for peace of mind.
