* QSFP+ DAC Break Out cables and QSFP+ to QSFP+ cables are not supported for Power Systems 10 Gigabit
Ethernet NICs. These cables are used for switch to switch connectivity only. Also, QSFP+ DAC break out cables are
only supported in ports 2 - 25.
** Because of power limitations, only 20 LR4 Transceivers can be supported, which is more than enough for what
most clients require. The specific supported configuration is eight ports on the right of the switch, plus up to 12 of 24
ports on the left.
† Requires IBM System Networking Adjustable 19" 4 Post Rail Kit
‡ The QSFP+ eSR4 and SR4* transceivers can leverage these cables which breakout into four OM3 multimode
fiber (MMF) cables with LC duplex connectors to support up to 100m (SR4), 300m eSR4). Valid configurations are:
1) MTP-4xLC <=== up to 100m (OM3) with SR4 or 300m with eSR4 ===> 4xLC-MTP
2) MTP-4xLC (connected to 4x SFP+ SR) up to 300m (OM3) using QSFP+ eSR4 only, * This configuration isn't
supported with QSFP+ SR4.
