IBM Power 720 User Manual

66 IBM Power 720 and 740 Technical Overview and Introduction
Before adding or rearranging adapters, you can use the System Planning Tool to validate the
new adapter configuration. See the IBM System Planning Tool website:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/tools/systemplanningtool/
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the required software to support the
new feature, and determine whether any existing update prerequisites are available to install.
Use the IBM Prerequisite website:
https://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPreReq.nsf
The following sections discuss the supported adapters and provide tables of orderable feature
numbers. The tables indicate operating system support (AIX, IBM i, and Linux) for each of the
adapters.
2.7.3 LAN adapters
Table 2-11 shows the local area network (LAN) adapters that are available for use with
Power 720 and Power 740 systems. The adapters are supported in the base system PCIe
slots, or in I/O enclosures that can be attached to the system using a 12X technology loop.
Cells marked N/A indicate bulk ordering codes and custom card identification number (CCIN)
is not applicable. A blank CCIN indicates CCIN not available.
Table 2-11 Available LAN adapters
IBM i: For the IBM i operating system, Table 2-11 on page 66 shows the native support of
the card. All Ethernet cards can be supported by IBM i through the VIOS server.
