Hey Rob, thanks for the link to the PCI card info on the Power 8 server.

What kind of Power 8? I'd like to look in the correct book to see what
kind of FC cards it does support.
There are some 16GB cards which will work. You may be able to find some on
the used market.
For an 8286-42A and some others you can check at

Will 16GB work in that model of DD?
We're using DD6900 on Power 9 & Power 10. With BRMS. With these two
adapters:
