The IBM 74Y2279 is an 8Gb PCIe dual-port Fibre Channel adapter, feature code 5735, CCIN 577D, built on the Emulex LPe12002 host bus adapter chipset. It is a full-height PCIe 2.0 x8 card with two LC-type shortwave-laser ports, operating at 2, 4 or 8Gbps link speed and supporting N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) through the Virtual IO Server, which lets a single physical port present as multiple virtual Fibre Channel adapters to different client partitions. The FC5735 is a widely deployed storage adapter across IBM Power Systems and AS/400-descended iSeries hardware, running AIX, IBM i, Linux and VIOS, connecting hosts to Fibre Channel switches or directly attached SAN storage. Genuine adapters of this type are routinely required when adding SAN connectivity, replacing a failed HBA, or restoring redundant storage paths. Specifiers should confirm host-system PCIe slot compatibility and required optics before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies the 74Y2279 for engineers maintaining Power Systems SAN connectivity.
