Pcie3 Cable Adapter (Fc Ej19; Ccin 6B53) - IBM Power System Series Manual

For higher availability, place adapters in separate enclosures where supported
For details about slot priorities, maximums, and placement rules, see PCIe adapter placement rules
and slot priorities (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9eab/
p9eab_mtm_pciplacement.htm) and select the system you are working on.
Voltage
3.3 V
Form factor
Short, full-height
Cables
Specific X or YO SAS cable features with new narrow HD connectors are used to attach to the ESLL
storage enclosure, ESLS storage enclosure, or 5887 disk drive enclosure.
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
planning.
Attributes provided
Full high PCIe3 four port x8 adapter with up to 12 GB write cache
Important requirements for adapter installation
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:

PCIe3 cable adapter (FC EJ19; CCIN 6B53)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EJ19 adapter.
Overview
FC EJ19 is a double-wide, low-profile, PCIe generation 3 (PCIe3) adapter. The adapter provides two
optical ports for the attachment of two expansion drawer cables. One adapter supports the attachment of
one PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in a EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer.
Note: The FC EJ19 (CCIN 6B53) adapter only works with the CCIN 50CD PCIe3 6-slot fanout module.
