The IBM 10N8586 is a 1Gb 1-port PCI-X Ethernet-SX adapter, providing a single fibre gigabit Ethernet connection over multimode cabling for pSeries, OpenPower and RS/6000 hosts needing fibre rather than copper network attachment. SX (short-wavelength) fibre gigabit adapters of this kind were IBM’s standard option for server-room network runs where copper Cat5e/6 was impractical or where the site’s existing network infrastructure was fibre-based, and the card fits a standard PCI-X slot common across IBM’s POWER4/POWER5-era server range. Compatibility depends on the exact host’s PCI-X slot configuration and AIX or Linux driver level, so specifiers should confirm against their system before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM Ethernet-SX adapters to support ongoing pSeries and Power Systems network maintenance projects.
