Replacing hot swap HBAs
Fiber Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) connected to a fiber array storage technology (FAStT) or
DS4000
®
storage subsystem have a child device called a disk array router (dar). You must unconfigure the
disk array router before you can hot swap an HBA that is connected to a FAStT or DS4000 storage
subsystem. For instructions, see Replacing hot swap HBAs in the IBM System Storage

PCIe3 LP 16 Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter (FC EN0B; CCIN 577F)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN0B adapter.
Overview
The PCIe3 LP 16 Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x8, short
form-factor, low-profile adapter. This adapter has a little connector-type (LC) external fiber connector that
provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link. The adapter automatically negotiates the
highest data rate between the adapter and an attaching device at a link speed of 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 4
Gbps. The adapter supports a maximum link speed of 16 Gbps at both ports. Distances between the
adapter and an attaching device or switch can reach up to 380 m running at a 4 Gbps data rate, up to 150
