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. FC EKAH is only supported
on 8001-12C and does not include cables. FC EKEH, alternatively, is only supported on 8001-22C and
includes cables.
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. TThe 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 OS for install. The adapter can be set up in JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode.
