The #0163 Fibre Channel Attach Specify is required for each device attaching to an iSeries server with a #2765.
The following adapter kits are required when connecting SC-type cables to the #2765:
#0371 - LC-SC Adapter Kit (50um) can be ordered on initial, model upgrade, and simple MES orders. This optional kit
is used to attach SC- type Fibre (50 micron) cables to a #2765. This kit contains a 2 m LC-ST cable and ST-SC
adapter for 50 micron Fibre.
#0372 - LC-SC Adapter Kit (62.5um) can be ordered on initial, model upgrade, and simple MES orders. This optional
kit is used to attach SC-type Fibre (62.5 micron) cables to a #2765. This kit contains a 2 m LC-ST cable and ST- SC
adapter for 62.5 micron Fibre.
The #2765 can be attached directly to a Linux or AIX partition. When ordered as #0611 - Direct Attach - #2765 PCI Fibre
Channel Tape Controller, an IOP is not required. When attached directly to a Linux/AIX partition, the #2765 cannot be
accessed by OS/400 partitions.
An optics cleaning kit (P/N 46G6844) and instruction sheet (P/N 21P6238, form number SY27-2604) are supplied, one per
system, when a #2765/#2766 is ordered.
Multi-target support with a maximum of 16 targets with V5R2.
