8.3.1 RAID Controller
Category
Controller
NOTE:

To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in order to minimize the risk of
becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight in order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard
drives failure.

For VMware ESXi, there are some limitations concerning the number of installable PCI cards. Refer to
and Installable Slots
8.3.2 Fibre Channel / SAS Controller
Category
Fibre Channel
SAS
NOTE:

With regard to 16Gb/s Fiber Channel Controllers, up to two ports in a single processor configuration with Xeon E5-2603 v4, and
up to six ports in a dual processor configuration with Xeon E5-2603 v4 are allowed in the system.

Up to three SAS Controllers can be installed.
