Before adding or rearranging adapters, use the System Planning Tool to validate the new
adapter configuration. See the IBM System Planning Tool website:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/tools/systemplanningtool/
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the required software to support the
new feature and determine whether there are any existing update prerequisites to install. To
do this, see the following website for prerequisite information:
https://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPreReq.nsf
Several of the following sections discuss the supported adapters and provide tables of
orderable feature numbers. The tables indicate operating system support (AIX, IBM i, and
Linux) for each of the adapters.
Note: Power 750 and Power 760 servers support only PCIe full-height and full-high cards.

2.7.5 LAN adapters

To connect a Power 750 and Power 760 to a local area network (LAN), use the integrated
multifunction card, or a dedicated adapter. For more information about the integrated
multifunction card, see 2.6.2, "Integrated multifunction card" on page 64.
Hint: The integrated multifunction card can be shared by LPARs that use VIOS, so each
LPAR is able to access it without a dedicated network card.
Other LAN adapters are supported in the PCIe slots of the system unit or in an I/O drawer that
are attached to the system by using a PCIe slot. Table 2-13 on page 69 lists the additional
LAN adapters that are available for the Power 750 and Power 760 servers.
