PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SR Adapter (FC 5284; CCIN 5287)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5284 adapters.
Overview
The FC 5284 and FC 5287 are both the same adapter. FC 5284 is a low-profile adapter and the FC 5287 is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SR Adapter is a short, low-profile, high-performance, generation-2 PCIe adapter. This adapter provides two 10-Gb Ethernet ports that can be configured to run at 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). Each of the Ethernet ports can be connected by using a little connector (LC) duplex-type connector over a multi-mode fiber (MMF) 850 nm fiber cable up to 300 meters (984.25 feet) in length. The adapter conforms to the IEEE, 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR specification for Ethernet transmission.

Adapter LED states
The LEDs on the adapter provide information about the adapter's operation status. The LEDs are visible through the adapter's mounting bracket. Figure 1 shows the location of the LEDs. Table 1 describes the different LED states and what those states indicate.
| LED | Light | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Activity/link | Green | Active link |
| Off | No link The absence of a link can indicate a defective cable, defective connector, or a configuration mismatch. |
