SMC Quad-port NVMe Host Bus Adapter (PEX9733) PCIe3.0 x8 LP with cables (FC EKAG and EKEG)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EKAG and EKEG
adapters.
Overview
FC EKAG and EKEG are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EKAG is supported only on
the 9006-12C. FC EKEG, alternatively, is supported only on the 9006-22C, and both include cables.
The SMC Quad-port NVMe Host Bus Adapter (PEX9733) PCIe3.0 x8 LP 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 four internal NVMe connectors for high-performance storage connectivity. This host bus
adapter (HBA) card is built on the PLX9733 PCIe switch IC technology and proven NVMe technology.
