8286 EN1A: PCIe3 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter (CCIN 578F)
EN1A is IBM's PCIe3 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter (CCIN 578F). Not listed for a Power 8 machine type.
A two-port 32 Gb Fibre Channel card for fast SAN storage connections, in a full height card size.
Our sources do not list EN1A for a Power 8 machine type. Some sellers still list it for Power 8. Before you buy, confirm it against your exact machine type.
IBM documents it as a Power9 adapter and it does not appear in the Power 8 adapter tables. Midland says it works on Power8 (8286, 8284, 8247) as well as Power9 but gives no minimum firmware or model detail.
Before you order EN1A
Fibre Channel cards connect the server to a storage network (SAN) or tape. Low profile cards fit the shorter 2U servers. Full height cards fit the taller 4U servers. If a card has a twin code, the twin is the same card in the other height.
