the system board, and the slots on the one-slot or two-slot extender cards. You
can only install half-length adapters in slots 1 and 6.
v The 32-bit slot 6 supports 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V

SATA models and provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E support. You can order the
ServeRAID-MR10i adapter which provides RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60
support, and the optional ServeRAID-MR10is adapter with an encryption 1078

properly on UEFI-based servers, make sure that the adapter firmware level is
updated to at least 11.x.x-XXX , and the supporting drivers.
Attention:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated
code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level
of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.

system resources. Then, the server starts the devices in the following order, if
you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express slot 1, PCI
Express slot 2, PCI slot 6, and PCI Express slot 3.
