74 IBM Power 720 and 740 Technical Overview and Introduction
Table 2-19 lists the available InfiniBand adapters.

Systems Servers, SG24-7767.
2.7.11 Asynchronous and USB adapters
Asynchronous PCIe adapters provide connection of asynchronous EIA-232 or RS-422
devices. If you have a cluster configuration or high-availability configuration and plan to
connect the IBM Power Systems by using a serial connection, use the features listed
in Table 2-20.
Table 2-20 Available asynchronous adapters
2.7.12 Cryptographic coprocessor
The cryptographic coprocessor cards provide both cryptographic coprocessor and
cryptographic accelerator functions in a single card.
The IBM PCIe cryptographic coprocessor adapter has the following features:
Integrated Dual processors that operate in parallel for higher reliability
Supports IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture or PKCS#11 standard
Ability to configure adapter as coprocessor or accelerator
Note: The FC 5283 adapter has two 40 Gb ports, and a PCIe Gen2 slot has the bandwidth
to support one port. This means that the benefit of two ports will be for redundancy rather
than additional performance.
