Fibre Channel Adapters; Capi Enabled Infiniband Adapters; Internal Storage - IBM Power Systems S822LC Technical Overview And Introduction

1.13.4 Fibre Channel adapters

The Power S822LC server support direct or SAN connection to devices that use Fibre
Channel adapters. Table 1-12 summarizes the available Fibre Channel adapters, which all
have LC connectors.
If you are attaching a device or switch with an SC type fiber connector, then an LC-SC 50
Micron Fibre Converter Cable (#2456) or an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fibre Converter Cable
(#2459) is required.

1.14 Internal storage

The internal storage on the Power S822LC server contains the following features:
A storage backplane for two 2.5-inch SFF Gen4 SATA HDDs or SDDs.
Limitation: The disks use an SFF-4 carrier. Disks that are used in other Power
Systems usually have SFF-3 or SFF-2 carrier and are not compatible with this system.
One integrated SATA disk controller without RAID capability.
The storage split backplane feature is not supported.
Table 1-14 on page 27 presents a summarized view of these features.
