IBM 90Y5100 Network Adapter

The IBM 90Y5100 System X Network Adapter provides two ports for wired network connectivity in compatible servers. It is designed for administrators who need to add or replace a dual-port module in supported System X platforms. The unit ships new and ready for installation.

Dual-port connectivity defines fit

This module delivers exactly two network ports, so it suits builds that require a single dual-port adapter. It will not meet the needs of buyers who want more than two ports from one module or who require a different port count for their configuration.

Questions about this item

How does the 2-port design affect connectivity in a System X server?

The two ports provide dual network links for redundancy or link aggregation, allowing the server to maintain connectivity if one path fails or to combine bandwidth for higher throughput.

What does the PCIe interface limit for this adapter in a System X chassis?

The PCIe slot generation in the System X chassis sets the maximum lane speed, so the adapter cannot exceed the bandwidth of that slot generation.
