C.1 Channel Options Supported On Z13S Servers - IBM z13s Technical Manual

C.1 Channel options supported on z13s servers

For all optical links, the connector type is LC Duplex, except for the 12xInfiniBand (IFB) and
the Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA SR) connection, which are established with multifiber
push-on (MPO) connectors. The MPO connector of the 12xIFB connection has one row of
12 fibers, and the MPO connector of the ICA connection has two rows of 12 fibers. The
electrical Ethernet cable for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) connectivity is connected
through an RJ45 jack.
Table C-1 lists the attributes of the channel options that are supported on z13s servers.
