v How many and what type of cables do I need to order to support the host
adapters?
In addition, consider the following host adapter guideline.
v You can include a combination of Fibre Channel host adapters in one I/O
enclosure.
Ordering host adapter cables
For each host adapter, you must provide the appropriate fiber-optic cables.
Typically, to connect Fibre Channel host adapters to a server or fabric port, provide
the following cables:
v For shortwave Fibre Channel host adapters, provide a 50-micron multimode
OM3 or higher fiber-optic cable that ends in an LC connector.
v For longwave Fibre Channel host adapters, provide a 9-micron single mode OS1
or higher fiber-optic cable that ends in an LC connector.
These fiber-optic cables are available for order from IBM.
IBM Global Services Networking Services can assist with any unique cabling and
installation requirements.
Processor complex features
These features specify the number and type of core processors in the processor
complex. The DS8882F contains two processor enclosures (POWER8 servers) that
contain the processors and memory that drives all functions in the storage system.
Feature codes for Transparent cloud tiering adapters
Use these feature codes to order adapter pairs to enhance Transparent cloud tiering
connectivity for your storage system.
Transparent cloud tiering connectivity can be enhanced with 10 Gbps adapter pairs
to improve bandwidth for a native cloud storage tier in IBM Z environments.

Feature codes for processor licenses
Use these processor-license feature codes to plan for and order processor memory
for your storage system. You can order only one processor license per system.
