Feature codes for I/O cables
I/O cables connect device and host adapters in an I/O enclosure pair to the processor. Use these feature
codes to order an I/O cable if your storage system is a DS8950F Agility Class that includes the model E96
expansion frame.

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 an I/O enclosure.
Adapters are either 4-port 16 Gbps or 4-port 32 Gbps.
Supported protocols include the following types:
• SCSI-FCP upper layer protocol (ULP) on point-to-point or fabric topologies.
• FICON ULP on point-to-point and fabric topologies.
Notes:
1. SCSI-FCP and FICON are supported simultaneously on the same adapter, but not on the same port.
2. For highest availability, ensure that you add adapters in pairs.
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.
Feature codes for Fibre Channel host adapters
Use these feature codes to order Fibre Channel host adapters for your storage system.
A maximum of eight Fibre Channel host adapters can be ordered with a DS8910F Rack Mounted model
993.
A maximum of 16 Fibre Channel host adapters can be ordered with a DS8910F model 994, DS8950F
model 996, or DS8950F model E96.
