Re: #EC2S) PCIe3 2-Port 10Gb NIC&ROCE SR/Cu Adapter - support for 3rd Party transceivers

It’s highly likely it will work, the better question is: “Is it supported?”. I’ll guess not.
Why not just get the IBM part instead? Yes it might cost a bit more but then it will not only be supported from a software perspective, but also hardware support. FSPs do fail occasionally.

The network team at one of our clients upgraded the core switches without
any planning - well that is my opinion.

System is 9009-41A running V7R3

We have a 2 Port 10G Nic

Type-model . . . . . . . . . : 58FA-001
Serial number . . . . . . . : YA50YD81P105
Part number . . . . . . . . : 01FT760

All available SFP's in the switches are in use.

The network team are now asking ...

1. Will the network card support 3rd party transceivers that are coded
specific to IBM? The brand they use are FlexOptix, this is the transceiver
we’d look to use -> https://www.flexoptix.net/en/transceiver/sfp-copper

2. If the answer to question 1 is no, is there an IBM branded / certified
10G-T transceiver that is supported?

This system does NOT have a HMC or VIOS.

Thanks

Don
