Slot requirement
For details about slot priorities, maximums, and placement rules, see PCIe adapter placement rules
and slot priorities (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9eab/
p9eab_mtm_pciplacement.htm) and select the system you are working on.
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. For information about operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following
topics:
• The latest version of enabling libraries and utilities can be downloaded from Fix Central (http://
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).
• Power Systems Prerequisites (http://www14.software.ibm.com/support/customercare/iprt/home).
• IBM SSIC (System Storage Interoperation Center) (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/
ssic/interoperability.wss).
• The latest version of the device driver or IBM Power RAID adapter utilities (iprutils) can be downloaded
from the IBM Service and Productivity Tools website (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/
set2/sas/f/lopdiags/home.html).
• For support details, see the Linux Alert website (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/

PCIe3 x8 2-port Fibre Channel (32 Gb/s); (FC EN1A, EN1B, EL5U, and EL5V; CCIN 578F)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EN1A, EN1B,
EL5U, and EL5V adapters.
Overview
FC EN1A, EN1B, EL5V, and EL5U are electronically identical. FCs EN1A and EL5U are full-height adapters,
and FCs EN1B and EL5V are low-profile adapters.
The PCIe3 x8 2-port Fibre Channel (32 Gb/s) Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x16
adapter. The adapter can be used in either a x8 or x16 PCIe slot in the system. This adapter is a high
performance is based on the Broadcom LPe32000-series PCIe host bus adapter (HBA). The adapter
provides two ports of 32 Gb Fibre Channel capability that uses SR optics. Each port can provide up to 32
Gb Fibre Channel functions simultaneously. Each port provides single initiator capability over a fiber link
or with NPIV, multiple initiator capabilities is provided. The ports are SFP+ and include an optical SR
transceiver. The ports have LC type connectors and use shortwave laser optics. The adapter operates at
link speeds of 4, 8, 16, and 32 Gbps and automatically negotiates to the highest speed possible. Each
port has two LED indicators that are on the bracket next to each connector. These LEDs communicate
boot status and give a visual indication of the operating state. The LEDs have five defined state; solid on,
solid off, slow flash, fast flash, and steady flashing. The slow flash rate is 1 Hz. The fast blink is 4 Hz, and
the flashing refers to an irregular on/off transition that reflects test progress. The operator must observe
the LED sequence for several seconds to ensure that the operating state is correctly identified.
