The adapter has an x4 PCIe connector and can be placed in a x4, x8, or x16 slot. See the PCI adapter
placement for information about the PCIe slots on your system unit.
2. Install the adapter by using the instructions in the system unit service guide.
Verifying the adapter installation
To verify that the system unit recognizes the adapter, type lsdev -Cs pci at the command line and press
Enter.
A list of PCI devices displays. 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 the server and verify that the adapter was installed correctly.

PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SR Adapter (FC 5284; CCIN 5287)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5284 adapters.
Overview
The FC 5284 and FC 5287 are both the same adapter. FC 5284 is a low-profile adapter and the FC 5287 is
a full-height adapter.
The PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SR Adapter is a short, low-profile, high-performance, generation-2 PCIe
adapter. This adapter provides two 10-Gb Ethernet ports that can be configured to run at 10 gigabits per
second (Gbps). Each of the Ethernet ports can be connected by using a little connector (LC) duplex-type
connector over a multi-mode fiber (MMF) 850 nm fiber cable up to 300 meters (984.25 feet) in length. The
adapter conforms to the IEEE, 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR specification for Ethernet transmission.
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for
your system.
