<p>(#5913) - PCIe2 1.8GB Cache RAID SAS Adapter Tri-port 6Gb (Part Numbers: OUE7971, OUE7972, OUE9419, 57B5, 57C3)</p> <p>The PCIe2 1.8GB Cache RAID SAS Adapter Tri-port 6Gb (#5913) provides high performance HDD or SSD controller function using PCIe Gen2 technology. HDD and SSD can be either SFF or 3.5-inch drives (or both). A pair of adapters are required to provide mirrored write cache data and adapter redundancy. Integrated flash memory provides protection of the write cache without batteries in case of power failure.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The #5913 provides three Mini-SAS HD (high density) connectors for the attachment of SAS drives located in the #5887 EXP24S, #5886 EPX12S, or #5802/5803 12X PCIe I/O drawers. X, YO or AT SAS cables with HD connectors are used to attach to these drawers. A max of 3 EXP24S or 6 EXP12S can be attached. If controlling drives in a #5802/ 5803 the #5913 pairs must be located in that #5802/5803. An AA SAS cable with HD connectors is attached to the #5913 pair to communicate status and cache content information and is required unless all three ports are being used to attach I/O drawers. The #5913 provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 for AIX and Linux and VIOS. The adapter provides RAID 5 and RAID 6 for IBM i. IBM i provides both OS mirroring and data spreading. AIX/Linux/VIOS provide OS mirroring (LVM). The adapter&#39;s CCIN is 57B5.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The IBM 5913 PCIe2 1.8GB Cache RAID SAS Adapter Tri-port 6Gb feature is supported on the following IBM iSeries &amp; Power Systems: 9119-FHB, 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8203-E4A, 8204-E8A, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D, 8233-E8B, 8234-EMA, 8236-E8C, 8412-EAD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD, 9405-520, 9406-520, 9406-525, 9406-550, 9406-570, 9406-595, 9407-M15, 9408-M25, 9409-M50, 9411-MMA, 9117-MMA, 7040-61D, 7311-D10, 9123-D20, 9124-720, 9110-510, 9111-51A, 9113-285, 9115-505, 9116-561, 9117-570, 9118, 9119-FHA, 9125-575, 9125-F2A, 9131-52A, 9133-55A</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Attributes provided: PCIe2 1.8GB Cache RAID SAS Adapter&nbsp;</p> <p>Attributes required: One PCIe slot per #5913&nbsp;</p> <p>OS level required:</p> <p>AIX Version 5.3, 6.1 &amp; 7.1</p> <p>IBM i 6.1 with 6.1.1 machine code or later supported&nbsp;</p> <p>SUSE Linux</p> <p>Red Hat Linux</p> <p>Refer to Software Requirements for specific O/S levels supported</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Note: For performance when more than four are in a #5802 or #5887 we recommend only one loop per drawer. Although this adapter is supported on IBM i in a VIOS configuration, caution is recommended with workloads that are heavy writes, including system functions such as load/restore.</p>
