Installing the MegaRAID Controller

If the InterRAID-8e option includes a MegaRAID controller in the shipping carton, follow

"Installing the Cabinet into a Rack." The following table shows information about the rack-
mount systems that allow the InterRAID-8e option.

NOTE For those systems using an internal channel for the internal RAID section, you cannot use the
external channel with the same number. For example, the InterServe 8000 uses Channel 0
and Channel 1 for the internal RAID section. Therefore, external Channel 0 and Channel 1 is
not available for connection.
