Table 18. Feature codes for Flash RAID adapter pairs
Feature code Feature name Description
3065 Base I/O expander
for High Performance
Flash Enclosures
Gen2 and host
adapters (required) Required to support one High Performance
Flash Enclosure Gen2 pair and two host
adapters
3066 I/O expander for
additional host
adapters (optional) Required to support more than two host
adapters
Fibre Channel (SCSI-FCP and FICON) host adapters and
cables
You can order Fibre Channel host adapters for your storage-system configuration.
The Fibre Channel host adapters enable the storage system to attach to Fibre
Channel (SCSI-FCP) and FICON servers, and SAN fabric components. They are
also used for remote mirror and copy control paths between DS8000 series storage
systems. Fibre Channel host adapters are installed in the I/O enclosure.
Adapters are 4-port 16 Gbps.
Supported protocols include the following types:
v SCSI-FCP upper layer protocol (ULP) on point-to-point and fabric.
Note: The 16 Gbps adapter does not support arbitrated loop topology at any
speed.
v FICON ULP on point-to-point and fabric topologies.
A Fibre Channel cable is required to attach each Fibre Channel adapter port to a
server or fabric component port. The Fibre Channel cables can be 50 or 9 micron,
OM3 or higher fiber graded, single or multimode cables.
