Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EK47 adapter.
Overview
The Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS3 X8 controller - 2 GB cache controller and CacheVault Power Module with 2 mini SAS cables is a PCIe generation 3 (Gen3) x8 adapter. The adapter provides increased connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers and appliances.
Notes:
- The Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-8i adapter supports SED (Self-Encrypting Drives) by using a security key (FC EKWD) and optional passphrase. However, the passphrase option is not supported on Power platforms and must not be used. Setting a passphrase makes the adapter unusable. The only way to recover the adapter will be to install the adapter in a system that supports this feature. You must enter the passphrase from the BIOS in this system and then remove the passphrase.
- For more information about SED support about the Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-8i adapter, see the 12 Gb/s MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide on the Broadcom website.
