Operating system or partition requirements
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software that is required to support the new
feature and that you determine whether any prerequisites must be met for this feature and attaching
devices. For information about operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following
topics:
• The latest version of enabling libraries and utilities can be downloaded from Fix Central (http://
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).
• Power Systems Prerequisites (http://www14.software.ibm.com/support/customercare/iprt/home).
• IBM SSIC (System Storage Interoperation Center) (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/
ssic/interoperability.wss).
• The latest version of the device driver or IBM Power RAID adapter utilities (iprutils) can be downloaded
from the IBM Service and Productivity Tools website (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/

PCIe2 LP 3D Graphics Adapter x16 (FC EC51)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EC51.
Overview
The PCIe2 LP 3D Graphics Adapter x16 is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 2.1 (Gen2.1) x16 adapter. The
adapter can only be used in a x16 PCIe (Gen2) slot in the system. The adapter accelerates and enhances
the system unit video. It has no hardware switches to set and the mode selection is made through the
software.
Important: FC EC51 is explicitly not enabled Petit boot since it is not kexec safe. The adapter will crash
the kernel when trying to boot a host OS.
