The IBM Raven high speed (HS) PCI switch (SKU 44E4373) is a specialized PCIe Gen3 switch designed for enterprise server environments. It features a 32-lane configuration supporting 8 ports, each with integrated 8.0 GT/s SerDes speed negotiation, enabling efficient high-bandwidth data transfer. Compatible with IBM ProtecTIER TS7650/TS7650G and System x3850 M2/x3950 M2 systems, it supports lane and polarity reversal for flexible installation. All ports enable concurrent maintenance via I2C bus, minimizing downtime. Key benefits include aggregate full duplex bandwidth of 512 GT/s, end-to-end CRC and poison bit error checking, data path parity, memory error correction, and advanced error reporting. Ideal for high IOPS workloads, it expands PCIe connectivity in dense server racks, reducing latency and enhancing scalability for storage and networking tasks in data centers.
