SGI Remote Services Primary Capabilities

As a system, the C2112-4KL1 server supports the use of twelve SATA drives. A single SATA
backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions but, at the same
time, logically connects a set of three SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID
setup is limited to a three-drive scheme—that is, RAID cannot be spread across all twelve drives.
