Tony,

Thanks for the correction. My mistake, I meant to say z9 BC and NOT z114.

As the Qs were related to channel type OSC and OSE, my answer was specific to 
the OSA-Express2 and 3 1000BASE-T (both supported by the z10 BC). Yes, there 
were other OSA features (10 GbE and 1 GbE) but these don't support channel type 
OSC.

To avoid a 'chapter and verse' about OSA, in reality, by the time you take into 
consideration the different 'flavours' of the 10 GbE feature ( Long Reach and 
Short Reach) there were a total of 6 different 'bigger cards' (OSA-Express3) 
for the z10 BC. The bigger cards were actually 2 'small' cards with their own 
separate PCI-E adaptors. Each PCI-E adaptor supported 1 (10 GbE) or 2 ( 1 
GbE/1000BASE-T) ports. The 2 port 1 GbE and 1000BASE-T features were a 'reduced 
cost' option for the z10 BC only with a single PCI-E adaptor - effectively 
making it a 'half' card (half full or half empty) but keeping the bigger card 
format.

Irrespective of the number of 'ports' on the card, each PCI-E adaptor supported 
ONE PCHID/CHPID.

I have also seen all the different I/O cards/features đŸ™‚

Regards

Parwez Hamid​

P H,
z10 was generation before z114. It only supports the old/bigger cards.

The large format OSAs came in four physical port layouts:
1 port at top (1 CHPID)
1 port at top and 1 port at bottom (2 CHPIDs)
2 ports at top only (1 CHPID)
2 ports at top and 2 ports at bottom (2 CHPIDs)
(I have seen all 4.)
