Integrated in POWER9 Server
Two rear USB 3.0 ports
TPM2.0 Nuvoton NPCT650ABAWX through I2C (for secure boot and trusted boot)
Integrated MicroSemi PM8069 SAS/SATA 16-port Internal Storage Controller PCIe3.0 x8 with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support (no write cache)
Selecting a 4Kn HDD requires an LSI HBA to be chosen. SSDs must be formatted by the client to 512-byte sectors for RAID. The Integrated SAS/SATA controller (PM8069) does not support RAID 4Kn devices (SSD or HDD).
Integrated SAS/SATA controller (PM8069) does not have the SED feature, but can use unlocked SED drives.
