The #ELMX drawer expands the IBM Power L922 (9008-22L) with extra PCIe Gen3 slots. It is a 4U high, rack-mountable PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer that offers two PCIe fan-out modules, #EMXH and #ELMG. Each fan-out module provides six PCIe3 full-high, full-length slots, two x16 and four x8, and the slots are hot pluggable.
Each fan-out module has two CXP ports that connect to two CXP ports on a PCIe Optical Cable Adapter (#EJ05) in the server, using a pair of active optical cables or a pair of CXP copper cables. The cable options are the 3 m Optical Cable Pair (#ECC7), the 10 m Optical Cable Pair (#ECC8) and the 3 m Copper CXP Cable Pair (#ECCS). Copper and optical cables cannot be mixed on one drawer, and a fan-out module connects to a single optical cable adapter.
Full-high adapters are housed in a blind-swap cassette, the same cassette used in the #5802, #5803, #5877 and #5873 12X-attached I/O drawers. Adapters are repaired, added or removed concurrently through Hardware Management Console guided menus or operating system utilities. The back of the drawer has the fan-out modules, each with a PCIe optical interface to the server, and dual power cords.
