SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE

Only one SAS JBOD Enclosure can be connected to one RAID controller.

4Kn sector drives are not supported with the RAID controller.

One battery backup unit must be installed per system.

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.
