Other important requirements for adapter installation
v If you are attaching a new or existing FC 5886 to an FC 5913 adapter, verify that the latest System
Enclosure Services (SES) code is applied to the FC 5886 before attaching to the FC 5913 adapter, see the
IBM Prerequisites website.
v If you are attaching a new or existing FC 5887 to an FC 5913 adapter, verify that the latest System
Enclosure Services (SES) code is applied to the FC 5887 before attaching to the FC 5913 adapter, see the
IBM Prerequisites website.
v If you are installing the FC 5913 in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D
system, turn off the acoustic mode by using advanced system management (ASM) options. For
instructions, see Configuring the acoustic mode control.
v If you are migrating existing SAS disk enclosures and devices from existing previous SAS adapters, an
automatic sector conversion takes place for use with the new FC 5913 adapters. For information about
the migrating procedures, see Upgrading the adapter.
POWER6 restrictions
If you are installing the FC 5913 in a POWER6 server, the following restrictions apply:
v The FC 5913 adapter is not supported in the POWER6 system units and must be placed in the I/O
expansion units attached to the server units.
v The FC 5913 adapter is not supported for controlling the boot or load source drives on POWER6
systems.
