Embedded SATA RAID Controller

This server includes an embedded MegaRAID controller that supports RAID levels 0 and 1. The primary
controller can control up to eight front-loading SATA-only drives. The secondary controller can control two
internal M.2 SATA drives.
Note
The VMware ESX/ESXi operating system is not supported with the embedded SATA MegaRAID controller
in SW RAID mode. You can use VMWare in AHCI mode.
Note
The Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V hypervisor is supported for use with the embedded MegaRAID
controller in SW RAID mode, but all other hyperviors are not supported. All Hypervisors are supported in
AHCI mode.
Note
You cannot control the M.2 SATA SSDs in the server with a HW RAID controller.

Embbeded SATA RAID Requirements

The embedded SATA RAID controller requires the following items:
• Interposer card UCSC-SATAIN-220M5. This must be installed in internal mRAID riser 3.
• The SAS/SATA cables that are preinstalled in the chassis.
• Primary controller: SATA drives only (up to eight, in front drive bays 1–8).
