Sas Raid Internal Adapters And Controllers - IBM Power System Series Manual

• Where applicable, show special installation or cabling instructions
• Show signal names for the output-pins of the adapter connectors
• Where applicable, show the settings for switches or jumpers
Adapters can be identified by their feature code (FC) or their custom-card identification number (CCIN).
Normally, the CCIN number is labeled on the adapter. The field replaceable unit (FRU) part number (P/N)
of your adapter might not match the FRU P/N listed in this information. If the part numbers do not match,
verify that the CCIN is the same. If the CCIN is same, the adapter has the same function and can be used
in the same way.
Adapters must be placed in specific PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or optimally.

Function
Storage backplane with integrated SAS controller
for SAS bays and DVD in the system unit. SAS
bays are 2.5-inches or Small Form Factor (SFF)
and use drives that are mounted on a carrier/tray
specific to the system unit (SFF-3).
The high-performance SAS controller provides
RAID-0, RAID-5, RAID-6 and RAID-10 support for
either HDD or SSD. JBOD support for HDD is also
supported. Controller has no write cache.
The high-performance SAS controllers each
provides RAID-0, RAID-5, RAID-6 and RAID-10
support. JBOD support for HDD is also supported.
There is no write cache on either controller.
Storage backplane with dual integrated SAS
controllers with write cache. High-performance
controllers run SFF-3 SAS bays, 1.8-inch SSD
cage bays if supported, and DVD bay in the system
unit. Dual controllers (also called dual I/O
adapters or paired controllers) and their write
cache are placed in integrated slots and do not
use PCIe slots.
The high-performance SAS controllers provide
RAID-0, RAID-5, RAID-6, RAID-10, RAID-5T2,
RAID-6T2, and RAID-10T2 support. Patented
Active/Active configurations with at least two
arrays is supported.
