The H200 SAS HBA is an expansion card that plugs into the dedicated internal SAS slot on Riser1. It
incorporates two four-channel 6 Gb/s SAS IOCs for connection to SAS hard disk drives. It is designed
in a form factor that allows the same card to be used in other 11G 2U rack-form factor platforms.

Customers who want an internal RAID solution should select the H700. This H700 card has its own
