AIX PCI adapters

The PCI adapters listed in this section are supported on System i® models running the AIX® operating system.

Not all adapters are supported on all system models. Check the IBM® Prerequisite Web site at http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsfLink outside information center to verify that an adapter is supported on your system model and to verify which release of AIX is required.

19xx features are not supported on System i.

The model 515 and 525 will support these feature codes: 0620, 0621 0647, 5700, 5701, 5706, 5707, 5721, 5722, and 5727.

AIX is not supported on the 0588 and 5088 I/O expansion units.

All adapters support Extended Error Handling (EEH).
