IBM SAS RAID controllers, Manual

Page: 32 / 82

Each controller requires a supported release of IBM i. Verify other possible code prerequisites that are
described in the following table and at IBM Prerequisite.
Attention: Ensure that the adapters have the latest adapter microcode PTFs as part of the initial
installation.

1. See the PCI adapter information by feature type topic in Managing PCI adapters for the minimum IBM i level
requirements.
It might become necessary to install software updates so that you have the latest available level of
adapter software support. Updates to the adapter software support are packaged, distributed, and
installed through the same mechanisms that are used for other portions of the IBM i Licensed Internal
Code. The standard IBM i technical support procedures can be used to determine the latest available level
of adapter software support.
