00WE023 is Lenovo's Intel OPA 100 Series Single-port PCIe 3.0 x8 HFA, feature code AU0A, an Omni-Path host fabric adapter. Lenovo notes that the PCIe 3.0 x16 adapter (00WE027) supports the full 100 Gb/s link speed, while this x8 adapter operates at a lower speed of about 58 Gb/s because of the reduced host interface. It ships with a full-height (3U) bracket attached and a low-profile (2U) bracket in the box.
Lenovo lists passive copper QSFP28 cables from 0.5 m (00WE031) to 3 m (00WE055) and active optical QSFP28 cables of 5 m (4X97A11034), 10 m (4X97A11035), 15 m (4X97A11036) and 20 m (4X97A11037). The adapters need no data path firmware or external memory, and have ECC protection on all internal SRAMs. Lenovo gives 0 to 40 °C as the operating temperature, 5 to 85% non-condensing humidity, and an airflow requirement of 200 LFM at 55 °C local ambient.
Lenovo lists 00WE023 as supported in the x3550 M5 (8869 and 5463), x3650 M5 (8871 and 5462), x3850 X6/x3950 X6 (6241, E7 v2, v3 and v4), nx360 M5 (5465) and sd350 (5493). The IBM and Lenovo networking parts lists other System x network adapters.
