If you have a CCIN 50CB PCIe3 6-slot fanout module, the FC EC2S and FC EC2U adapters are only
supported in slots C2 and C5. If you have a CCIN 50CD PCIe3 6-slot fanout module, the FC EC2S and FC
EC2U adapters are supported in slots C1 through C6, but only four FC EC2S and FC EC2U adapters can
be in SR-IOV mode at a time.

Finding the current system configuration in IBM i

You can use the System Service Tools in the IBM i operating system to find the current system
configuration.
Before you begin
Before you begin, you must know the location codes of the PCI adapter slots in the system with which you
are working.
About this task
To find the current system configuration, start an IBM i session and sign on. If you have more than
one system, start a session on the system that is being upgraded and for which you have service tools
authority.
To find the current system configuration, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Type strsst on the command line of the Main Menu and then press Enter.
2. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the Start Service Tools (STRSST) Sign
On display and then press Enter.
3. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and then press Enter.
4. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display and then press Enter.
5. Select Packaging hardware resources (system, frames, cards) from the Hardware Service
Manager display and then press Enter.
