8286 EJ0M: PCIe3 RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb LP Adapter (CCIN 57B4)

EJ0M is IBM's PCIe3 RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb LP Adapter (CCIN 57B4). Listed for 8284-21A, 8284-22A, 8247-21L and more.

A low profile RAID card with four external SAS ports that runs extra drive drawers from the 2U Power 8 servers.

EJ0M is the low profile version for the 2U servers; the 4U Power S814 and S824 (8286) use the full height EJ0J, which is the same 57B4 card. REDP-5102: EJ0M cannot go in the S822 system unit when the 8-core 4.15 GHz processor (#EPXL) is ordered.

Before you order EJ0M

The drive bay and controller setup decides how many drives the server can hold and how they are protected. Changing it usually means planning downtime, so check it against your machine type first.
