Category
Controller
NOTE:

Up to two Flash Backup Units can be installed in the system. Therefore, N8103-181 Flash backup Unit cannot be installed for
N8103-176, N8103-177 or N8103-178 when two N8103-179 RAID controllers (including Flash Backup Unit as standard) are
installed.

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.
