Cables
Specific X, YO, AA, or AT SAS cable features with new narrow HD connectors are used to attach to the
other adapter or disk expansion drawers.
Internal SAS device attachment on a 9040-MR9 system requires specific AZ cables that are provided
with the subsystem or device features that are being attached. Special cabling is required for multi-
initiator and high availability configurations. For more information, see Serial attached SCSI cable
Attributes
• Four external mini SAS HD 4x connectors provide attachment of SAS device enclosures
• SAS Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) and Serial Management Protocol (SMP)
• RAID 0, 5, 6, or 10 with hot-spare capability. System level mirroring through the operating system is
also supported. JBOD functionality (512 byte) is supported in a single controller configuration only.
• Concurrent firmware update
• Support for multi-initiator and high availability or single controller configurations
Important requirements for adapter installation
If you are attaching a new or existing 5887, ESLL, or ELLS enclosure to an FC EL3B or EJ0M adapter, verify
that the latest System Enclosure Services (SES) code is applied to the enclosure before attaching to the
FC EL3B or EJ0M adapter. For details, see the IBM Prerequisites website.
An automatic sector conversion takes place for use with the new adapter when migrating existing SAS
disk enclosures and devices from existing previous PCIe SAS adapters to PCIe3 SAS adapters. For more
information about the migration procedures, see Upgrading a SAS RAID storage adapter.
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. For information about operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following
topics:
• The latest version of enabling libraries and utilities can be downloaded from Fix Central (http://
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).
• Power Systems Prerequisites (http://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 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 support details, see the Linux Alert website (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/
lopdiags/info/LinuxAlerts.html).
The EJ0M adapter requires the following drivers:
• AIX: devices.pci.14104A0 device driver package
PCIe3 4 x8 SAS Port Adapter (FC EL60, FC EL65, FC EJ10, and FC EJ11; CCIN 57B4)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EL60, FC
EL65, FC EJ10, and FC EJ11 adapter.
Overview
The PCIe3 4 x8 SAS Port Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe), generation 3, RAID SAS adapter. The adapters
are short-form factor. The FC EL65 and FC EJ10 are full-height adapters and the FC EL60 and FC EJ11 are
low-profile adapters. The adapter is used in high-performance and high-density, serial attached SCSI
(SAS) applications. It supports the attachment of SAS DVD or SAS tape by using four mini SAS high-
