IBM EJ10 57B4 SAS 6Gb 4-Port PCIe3 x8 SSD RAID适配卡

IBM PCIe3 x8 SSD RAID Adapter (FC EJ10 / CCIN 57B4)

Overview

The PCIe3 x8 SSD RAID Adapter is a high-performance, double-wide, low-profile PCI Express generation 3 (PCIe3), x8 slot adapter. It provides high-speed connectivity to internal Solid State Drives (SSDs) and supports advanced RAID configurations for data redundancy and performance optimization.

This adapter is primarily designed for IBM Power Systems servers to deliver high-throughput and low-latency I/O operations required for enterprise workloads.

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Capabilities

• High Performance: Utilizing the PCIe Gen3 x8 bus, this adapter maximizes data transfer rates between the server’s processors and the SAS-attached SSDs.

• Enterprise Reliability: Supports hardware-based RAID levels (5, 6, and 10) to ensure high availability and data protection against drive failures.

• Dual-Adapter Support (Dual Storage IOAs): Can be configured in pairs to provide high-availability redundant controller paths to the drives, eliminating a single point of failure.

• Maintenance-Free Cache: Features integrated flash memory to backup cache data in the event of a sudden power loss, removing the need for traditional rechargeable batteries.

Operating System Support

This adapter is natively supported across IBM’s core enterprise operating systems:

• AIX (Specific Technology Level updates required depending on the server model)

• IBM i

• Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server)
