IBM 49Y7952 Emulex 10GbE Adapter
The IBM 49Y7952 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Virtual Fabric Adapter II designed for IBM System x blade servers. It installs as a plug-in card using a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface. This module suits administrators adding 10GBase-X connectivity to compatible blade chassis.
Sustained 10GBase-X throughput
The adapter handles continuous 10GBase-X traffic through its PCI Express 2.0 x8 link without relying on burst buffers. Virtual Fabric technology partitions bandwidth for multiple logical networks on the same physical port. Steady-state performance scales with the blade server's I/O subsystem.
Blade-server plug-in form factor
The plug-in card format slides directly into the blade's mezzanine slot, eliminating external cabling inside the chassis. A single 10GBase-X port connects to the chassis midplane for uplink aggregation. Build quality matches IBM System x qualification standards for hot-plug environments.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 49Y7952 draw when running all day?
The adapter uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface, so power is supplied through the blade server slot and scales with 10GBase-X link activity.
What slot must my blade server provide for this adapter?
The card requires an available PCI Express 2.0 x8 plug-in card slot inside a supported blade server.
Will the Emulex 10 Gigabit Ethernet Virtual Fabric Adapter II work in my older PCIe 1.0 blade?
The adapter is built for a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface; compatibility with earlier PCIe generations depends on the blade server firmware and slot wiring.
