IBM feature #EKA2 is the Intel 82599ES Ethernet Converged Network Adapter x520-DA2, a dual-port 10G/1G SFP+ adapter in a PCIe2.0 x8 low-profile form, for the IBM Power System LC922, machine type 9006 (model 22P). It is a PCI Express generation 2 (Gen2) x8 adapter and works in either an x8 or an x16 PCIe slot in the system.
The adapter offers iSCSI remote boot support, load balancing on multiple CPUs and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) support. Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support, Direct Cache Access (DCA), IPv6 offloading, VMDq with 64 queues per port plus a PCI-SIG SR-IOV implementation are provided as well.
The port transceivers and cables that go with the card are #EKC0, a 3 M 10 Gb SFP+ SR active optical cable, #EKC1, a 3 M 10 Gb SFP+ copper passive cable, and #EKC2, a 10/1 Gb SFP+ SR optical transceiver.
The card is short and low profile, runs on 3.3 V and 12 V, and carries adapter FRU number 01EM697 (AOC-STGN-I2S). A 9006-22P with one processor takes up to 2 of these adapters in slot priorities 1 and 2, and with two processors it takes up to 6, in slot priority order 4, 1, 5, 6, 3, 2.
