Operating system or partition requirements
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software that is required to support the new
feature and that you determine whether any prerequisites must be met for this feature and attaching
devices. To check for operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following links:
• The latest version of enabling libraries and utilities can be downloaded from Fix Central (http://
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).
• IBM Prerequisite website (www14.software.ibm.com/support/customercare/iprt/home).
• IBM SSIC (System Storage Interoperation Center) (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/

Intel 82575EB Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCIe x4.0 LP (FC EKA3)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EKA3 adapters.
Overview
The Intel 82575EB Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCIe x4.0 LP is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation
2 (Gen2) x4 adapter. The adapter can be used in either an x8 or x16 PCIe slot in the system. The adapter
offers a high-performing PCIe 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection. It also improves flexibility and
performance in a virtualized environment in multi-core systems by lowering interrupt overhead and
providing sorted multiple data queue paths.
