PCIe3 4-port 10 GbE SFP+ Copper Adapter (FC EN17 and FC EN18; CCIN 2CE4)
Learn about the specications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN17 and FC
EN18 adapter.
Overview
The FC EN17 and EN18 are the same adapter. FC EN17 is a full-height adapter, and FC EN18 is a low-
prole adapter. The names of these two adapters are:
• FC EN17: PCIe3 4-port 10 GbE SFP+ Copper Adapter
• FC EN18: PCIe3 LPX 4-port 10 GbE SFP+ Copper Adapter
The PCIe3 4-port 10 GbE SFP+ copper adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3, x8, short form-factor
adapter. The adapter provides four 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports into which copper
twinax transceivers will be placed. See Figure 79 on page 211
. Active copper twinax cables up to 5 meter
in length are supported such as provided by feature codes EN01, EN02 or EN03. A transceiver is included
with these cables. See “Cables” on page 212 for details. The adapter supports the Ethernet network
interface controller (NIC) function and also provides SR-IOV NIC support. SR-IOV capability for the NIC
function is supported with the appropriate rmware and operating system level for any of the four ports.
Enabling the SR-IOV function requires an HMC.
The adapter provides the following features:
• Four 10 Gb ports that can function in the NIC mode
• AIX Network Installation Management (NIM) support
• The adapter supports interrupt moderation to deliver increased performance while signicantly
reducing processor utilization
• The adapter supports multiple media-access control (MAC) per interface.
• The adapter supports integrated media-access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY).
• The adapter supports the following standards for the different ports and functions:
– IEEE 802.3ae in the 10 GbE ports
– 802.3ab in the 1 GbE ports
– Ether II and IEEE 802.3 for encapsulated frames
– 802.1p for setting up priority levels in tagged VLAN frames
– 802.1Q for VLAN tagging
– 802.3x for flow control
– 802.3ad for load-balancing and failover
– IEEE 802.3ad and 802.3 for link aggregation
• The adapter provides message signal interrupts (MSI), MSI-X, and support of legacy pin interrupts.
• The adapter supports jumbo frames up to 9.6 KB.
• The adapter supports TCP checksum offload transmission control protocol (TCP), user datagram
protocol (UDP), TCP segmentation Offload (TSO) for IPv4 and IPv6.
• Supports TCP segmentation or large send offload
• Supports EEPROM-SPI and single EEPROM
