a. PTFs are required.
b. Although CHPID type OSN does not use any ports (because all communication is LPAR to
LPAR), it is listed here for completeness.
c. OSM support in V6R2 and V6R3 for dynamic I/O only.

OSA-Express4S 10-Gigabit Ethernet
The
exclusively in the PCIe I/O drawer. Each feature has one port, which is defined as either
CHPID type OSD or OSX. CHPID type OSD supports the QDIO architecture for high-speed
TCP/IP communication. The z196 introduced the CHPID type OSX. For more information,
see 7.3.50, "Intraensemble data network" on page 274.
The OSA-Express4S features have half the number of ports per feature when compared to
OSA-Express3, and half the size as well. This configuration results in an increased number of
installable features. It also facilitates the purchase of the correct number of ports to help
satisfy your application requirements and to better avoid redundancy.
