10N9824 IBM 577D PCIe 8Gb 2-Port Fiber Channel Adapter

IBM 577D PCIe 8Gb 2-Port Fiber Channel Adapter 10N9824 00E0806 EL2N EL58 5273 5735

The IBM 577D PCIe LP 8 Gb 2-Port Fiber Channel Adapter has 10N9824 00E0806 part numbers and EL2N EL58 5273 5735 feature codes and is a low-profile adapter IBM i, iSeries, AS400, AIX and Linux Server Power systems. The IBM 577D Fiber Channel Adapter is a high-performance adapter based on the Emulex LPe12002 PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Each of the IBM 577D ports provides single initiator capability over a fiber link. The ports have LC type connectors that use shortwave laser optics. The 577D adapter connects to Fibre Channel switches and operates at link speeds of 2, 4 and 8 Gbps. The 577D adapter automatically negotiates with the switch to the highest speed that the switch is capable of. LEDs on each port provide information about the status and link speed of the port. N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) capability is supported through Virtual I/O Server (VIOS).

The IBM 577D PCIe LP 8 Gb 2-Port Fiber Channel Adapter is supported on the following IBM i, iSeries, AS400, Power AIX and Linux Systems with the following minimum Operating System versions:

IBM i AS400 OS400 V6R1 or later
AIX Version 5.3 or later
Linux Server Power Systems with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 or later
Linux Server SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, Service Pack 1 or later
IBM PowerKVM 2.1 SP1 or later

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 there are any prerequisites for this feature and attaching devices. To check for the prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite website.
