| Runs with IBM i | Yes ... IBM i 7.6, 7.5 TR 6 and 7.4 TR 12 support it (dedicated, SR-IOV, vNIC through VIOS). Not for IBM i on the E1150. |
SG24-8587 lists only the low profile EC85 for the E1180 and marks its OS support not available at the time of writing.
Must plug into a system unit slot, not an I/O expansion drawer, because it needs Gen5. Requires FW1110 and HMC 11.1.1110. E1150 FRU 03HD082.
Before you order EC86
Network cards come in two heights. 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.
