Server RAID Controller

The Broadcom MegaRAID 9562-16I is a PCIe Gen 4.0 Tri-Mode RAID controller designed for high-end servers. It supports up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices and 32 NVMe drives for maximum storage connectivity. The card uses an OCP 3.0 SFF adapter form factor to provide flexible integration into dense server chassis. It targets administrators managing critical applications that demand high bandwidth and device counts.

Build Integration

This controller requires a PCIe 4.0 slot and connects via SFF-9402 compliant connectors to drive backplanes or cables. It frees up internal space by consolidating SAS, SATA and NVMe connectivity onto a single OCP 3.0 adapter. Universal Bay Management readiness allows streamlined drive monitoring and status indication. The Tri-Mode architecture simplifies cabling by handling multiple drive protocols through one interface.

Upgrade Context

The 9562-16I replaces older RAID cards limited to PCIe 3.0 bandwidth or single-protocol support. The jump is worth it when servers need to scale beyond previous device limits or unify NVMe and SAS/SATA arrays on one controller. It is not for builds restricted to PCIe 3.0 slots or environments that do not require Tri-Mode flexibility. Buyers needing only basic RAID without high device counts should consider simpler options.

Questions about this item

How many NVMe devices can the 9562-16I support simultaneously?

The controller supports up to 32 NVMe devices through its Tri-Mode architecture and PCIe 4.0 interface.

What thermal or power considerations apply when the 9562-16I runs continuously in a server?

As an OCP 3.0 SFF adapter, it relies on server chassis airflow for cooling and draws power directly from the PCIe slot.

Which existing server infrastructure is required for the 9562-16I to function?

A server with an available PCIe 4.0 slot and OCP 3.0 SFF connector supporting SFF-9402 pinout is required.
