Installing the AIX device driver software
To install device driver software, follow the steps in “Installing the AIX device driver software” on page
224.
Installing the adapter
For general instructions on how to install a PCI adapter, see the Installing PCI adapters topic. Return here
to verify the adapter installation.
Verifying the adapter installation
To verify that your system unit recognizes the PCI adapter, do the following steps:
1. If necessary, log in as root user.
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.

PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (FC 5289; CCIN 57D4)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5289 adapters.
Overview
FC 5289 and 5290 are both the same adapter. FC 5289 is a full-height adapter, and the FC 5290 is a
low-profile adapter. The names of these two adapters are:
v FC 5289: PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter
v FC 5290: PCIe LP 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (tailstock only)
The FC 5289 and FC 5290 are 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI Express (PCIe)
adapters that can be installed in the PCIe slots. The adapters are based on the PCIe 1.1 host bus interface.
The parallel port function is not implemented on these adapters.
Each of the two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) channels contain 128 byte
receiver-transmitter, first-in first-out (FIFO), full modem-control signaling, and standard host interrupts. If
either of the two UART interrupts are active, the host can be interrupted through a single PCI interrupt.
The two-port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports, which are connected by DB-9 connectors.
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for
your system.
