Integrated Storage Controller Card
Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the riser for an
integrated SAS or PERC controller card that provides the integrated storage
subsystem for your system’s internal hard drives. The controller supports SAS
and SATA hard drives and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID
configurations as supported by the version of the storage controller included
with your system.
