IBM i Series 8205-E6B (#5912) - PCI-X DDR Dual - x4 SAS Adapter</p><p>The PCI-X DDR Dual Connector x4 SAS Adapter is a low-profile short form factor adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance applications. With proper cabling, multiple wide ports are used to provide redundant paths to each dual port SAS disk. The adapter manages SAS path redundancy and path switching should a SAS failure occur. RAID levels 0 and 10 are supported. FC 5912 may also be used in a High Availability configuration using two adapters.</p><p>Highlights</p><p>Supports up to 48 SAS disks, when configured with four FC 5886 12S disk expansion drawers</p><p>Removable Media Device Supported</p><p>SAS speed = 3Gbs</p><p>SATA speed = 1.5Gbs</p><p>SAS Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) , Serial ATA Tunneling Protocol (STP) and Serial Management Protocol (SMP)</p><p>RAID 0 and 10</p><p>Dual controller supports mirrored RAID parity footprints</p><p>Concurrent Firmware Update</p><p>Attributes provided: Eight physical links via two mini SAS 4x connectors</p><p>Attributes required: One PCI-X 2.0 DDR slot</p><p>For 8202-E4B: (#5912)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 24 (Initial order maximum: 24)</p><p>OS level required:</p><p>AIX Version 5.3 supported</p><p>AIX Version 6.1 supported</p><p>AIX Version 7.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 6.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 7.1 supported</p><p>SUSE Linux supported</p><p>Red Hat Linux supported</p><p>Refer to Software Requirements for specific O/S levels supported</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note:</p><p>Not supported in the CEC</p><p>System maximum of 24 in 4 x #5796
