IBM 00E1381 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 00E1381 is a quad-port 1Gb Host Ethernet Adapter (HEA), feature code 1824, providing four RJ-45 copper Ethernet ports built into the system planar rather than a pluggable PCIe card. As part of IBM’s Integrated Virtual Ethernet architecture, its ports are shared across logical partitions by the POWER Hypervisor without requiring a dedicated adapter per partition, giving efficient network connectivity on Power Systems servers that support this design. Genuine replacements are a routine requirement when a planar-integrated HEA reports a fault. Specifiers should confirm exact host system compatibility before ordering, since HEA designs are tied to specific planar generations.
