Preface
Onboard SATA controller
A SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four SATA hard disk
drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI Embedded MegaRAID
software (SATA Software RAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
onboard SATA controller" on page 79.
SAS/SATA RAID controller
The server is available with the following SAS/SATA RAID controllers for
operating the internal SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
– Modular RAID 0/1 controller with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced"
(SAS IME) for SAS1.0
RAID levels 0, 1 and 1E are supported for internal hard disk drive
configurations.
I For the Japanese market only RAID level 1 is supported for internal
hard disk drive configurations.
– Modular RAID 0/1 controller with “MegaRAID functionality”
(SAS MegaRAID) for SAS1.0 and SAS2.0
RAID levels 0, 1,10 and 1E are supported for internal hard disk drive
configurations.
– Modular RAID 5/6 controller with "MegaRAID functionality"
(SAS MegaRAID) for SAS1.0 and SAS2.0
RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50, 6 and 60 are supported for internal hard disk
drive configurations. As an option, a battery backup unit (BBU) can save the
memory content even if the power fails. Cache memory size of 512 Mbyte is
available.
I For more information on configuring the controller, see section
"Configuring the onboard SATA controller" on page 79.
Further information on SAS/SATA RAID controllers is provided in the
"Modular RAID Controller Installation Guide" (on ServerView Suite
DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters
