Adapters supported on the AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating system

Table 1 and Table 2 list adapters supported on the AIX®, IBM® i, and Linux operating systems. Not all adapters are supported on all operating systems. Exceptions are noted in the Description column.

Important:

Not all adapters are supported on all system configurations. This document does not replace the latest sales and marketing publications and tools that document supported features.
Before adding or rearranging adapters, use the System Planning Tool to validate the new adapter configuration. See the IBM System Planning Tool website.
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the new feature and determine whether there are any existing PTF prerequisites to install. To do this, use the IBM Prerequisite website.
