Let me clarify, it is possible to order 2 cards each containing either 1 or 2 PCI-X cards inside.
On the upside CPACF just needs an activation disk that you IBM SE can activate on your box (should be no additional $) and Encryption Facility (to my knowledge) is priced to encourage use. The CEX2C cards are $$ but then also enable the full range of ICSF API's and allow for secure key.
