PCIe3 cable adapter (FC EJ05; CCIN 2B1C)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EJ05 adapter.
Overview
FC EJ05 is a double-wide, low-profile PCIe3 cable adapter. The adapter provides two optical ports for the
attachment of two expansion drawer cables. One adapter supports the attachment of one PCIe3 6-slot
fanout module in a EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer.
Note: The FC EJ05 (CCIN 2B1C) adapter only works with the CCIN 50CB PCIe3 6-slot fanout module.
Figure 41 on page 132 shows the adapter.
