Configuration notes:

The onboard ServeRAID C110 controller does not consume a PCIe slot.
The ServeRAID M1210 controller is supported only in the dedicated PCIe slot 1.
Other controllers for internal storage (M1215, M5210, N2215) are supported only in the PCIe slot 2.
The C110, M1210, M1215, M5210, and N2215 controllers are mutually exclusive, that is, only one of
them can be selected in the configuration.
Models of the System x3250 M6 that use the ServeRAID C110 controller do not support an upgrade
to a hardware RAID controller.
