Compatibility with Power Systems
The IBM EJ10 PCIe3 SAS Tape/DVD Adapter (00MH910) is compatible with a wide range of IBM Power Systems, ensuring seamless integration for enterprise backup and archival tasks across various industries:
- IBM i (7.1 or later with required PTFs for tape support), AIX (6.1 or later with specific service packs), Linux (RHEL 6.4, SLES 11 SP3, Ubuntu 16.04.4 or later).
- Power Systems models: 8284-22A (S824), 8286-41A (S814), 8286-42A (S824), 8408-44E, 8408-E8E, 9119-MME, 9119-MHE, supporting diverse enterprise environments like finance and healthcare.
- Requires a PCIe3 x8 slot and AE1/YE1 SAS cables (e.g., ECBY P/N 46C2900, ECBZ) for connecting external SAS VTL, tape drives, or DVD devices, ensuring reliable, high-speed data transfer.
Note: Electronically identical to EJ11 (low-profile), EJ0J, and EJ0M (disk/SSD controllers) with CCIN 57B4, but configured for tape/DVD use only to avoid performance conflicts. SAS tape cannot be mixed with SAS disk on the same adapter, ensuring dedicated performance for backup tasks.
