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. To check for operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following links:
• The latest version of enabling libraries and utilities can be downloaded from Fix Central (http://
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).
• IBM Prerequisite website (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 the IBM Power RAID adapter utilities (iprutils) can be
downloaded from the IBM Service and Productivity Tools website (http://www14.software.ibm.com/
webapp/set2/sas/f/lopdiags/home.html).
• For more information, see the Linux Alert website (www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/

Broadcom (LSI) MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS3 Controller with 8 internal ports (2 GB Cache) PCIe3.0 x8
with cables (FC EKAH and EKEH)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EKAH and EKEH
adapters.
Overview
FC EKAH and EKEH are both the same adapter with different feature codes.
The Broadcom (LSI) MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS3 Controller with 8 internal ports (2 GB Cache) PCIe3.0 x8
with cables is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x8 adapter. The adapter can be used in either a x8
or x16 PCIe slot in the system. The adapter features 8 internal SAS connectors for high-performance
storage connectivity. This Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) adapter is built on the LSI Logic
SAS IC and MegaRAID technology. It also supports high capacity storage applications using high-
performance RAID architecture, including hardware RAID 5 and 6.
Important: RAID mode is the adapter default and needs to be configured by the customer before drives
are shown to the operating system for installation. For instructions, see “StorCLI commands” on page
111.
Note: This adapter requires an additional PCIe slot to mount the CacheVault supercapacitor.
