2. At the command line, type: lsdev -Cs pci
3. Press Enter.
A list of PCI devices is displayed. If the adapter is installed correctly, the status of available for each port
indicates that the adapter is installed and ready to use. If a message indicates that any of the ports are
defined instead of available, shut down your server and verify that the adapter was installed correctly.
Connecting to an Ethernet network
This section explains how to connect the adapter to the multimode fiber network. Refer to your local
procedures for information about connecting the adapter to your Ethernet network.
Note: Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter at one time.
To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following steps:
1. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter LC connector.
2. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.
Notes:
v The adapter requires an 850 nm multimode fiber optic cable. See Table 30 on page 98.
v If your switch has an SC receptacle, you need an LC-SC converter cable.
v It is necessary to configure an IP network interface to enable the adapter to detect a link and to
illuminate the link LED.

PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SFP+ Copper 2x1GbE UTP Adapter (FC 5279; CCIN
2B52)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5279 adapters.
Overview
The FC 5279 and FC 5745 are both the same adapter. FC 5745 is a full-height adapter, and the FC 5279 is
a low-profile adapter. The names of these two adapters are:
v FC 5745: PCIe2 2x10GbE SFP+ Copper 2x1GbE UTP Adapter
v FC 5279: PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SFP+ Copper 2x1GbE UTP Adapter
The PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SFP+ Copper 2x1GbE adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation-2, low-profile,
four-ported, Ethernet unified wire adapter with a PCIe 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter is optimized
for cloud computing, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications. The four-port adapter
provides two 10 Gb Ethernet ports and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb small form-factor
pluggable (SFP+) copper transceiver ports are used for connectivity with other servers or switches in the
network. Each SFP+ port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits
per second), and uses SFP+ copper twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length. Each of the RJ45 ports
