The IBM 03N7068 is a Feature #1957 2Gbps single-port PCI-X Fibre Channel adapter, low-profile form factor, built on the storage-adapter family IBM engineers referred to internally by the codename Flipper. It provides a single LC fibre connection for attaching external SAN storage, tape libraries or SSA/FC-AL disk subsystems to a pSeries or RS/6000 host over a dedicated Fibre Channel fabric. Feature 1957 cards of this generation were fitted across a wide range of POWER4 and POWER5-era pSeries and OpenPower systems wherever SAN-attached storage was required rather than direct-attach disks. 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 Fibre Channel adapters of this type to support ongoing SAN and server maintenance projects.
