Broadcom 05-50111-01 9600-24i Tri-Mode RAID controller

SKU CH-9DTP-WEJA6 MPN 05-50111-01

Tri-Mode eHBA connects up to 240 SAS/SATA or 32 NVMe drives over PCIe 4.0 x8

  • Tri-Mode flexibility connects SAS, SATA and NVMe drives
  • PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 delivers high bandwidth for critical applications
  • Supports up to 240 SAS or SATA devices
  • Supports up to 32 NVMe devices for fast storage
  • Hardware Secure Boot and SPDM Attestation protect firmware integrity

Enterprise storage adapter

The Broadcom 9600-24i Tri-Mode eHBA is a PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 controller built for enterprise data centres that need dense connectivity. It supports up to 240 SAS or SATA devices and 32 NVMe drives through a single low-profile half-length card. Hardware Secure Boot and SPDM Attestation help protect the boot chain.

Upgrade from limited port counts

This adapter replaces older HBAs that cannot saturate a Gen 4.0 link or that lack Tri-Mode support for mixed drive types. The jump is worth it when an application demands higher IOPS and bandwidth than previous generations deliver. It also consolidates cabling when a server must address both NVMe and traditional drives.

Straightforward server installation

The card fits a standard x8 slot and uses common broadcom drivers and management tools. Most issues arise when the backplane or cabling does not match the Tri-Mode pinout, or when Secure Boot keys are not enrolled before deployment. SMART and temperature monitoring are available once the firmware is current.

Questions about this item

What internal connectors does the 9600-24i need to attach 24 SAS or SATA drives?

The controller uses eight internal connectors; each requires a Mini-SAS HD cable that fans out to four drive backplane ports.

What PCIe slot and firmware step are required when installing the 05-50111-01?

Insert the low-profile x8 card into a PCIe 4.0 slot, then enable Secure Boot in the system BIOS so the adapter's hardware attestation can complete.

Which component on the 9600-24i will need a battery replacement to keep cache data safe?

The adapter has no onboard cache memory, so no battery or super-capacitor maintenance is required.
