Supported RAID Controllers and Required Cables

Supported RAID Controllers and Required Cables

This server supports the RAID controller options and cable requirements shown in
form factor drives and
Caution Do not mix controller types in the server. Do not use the embedded MegaRAID controller and a hardware
RAID controller card at the same time. This is not supported and could result in data loss.

1. SCPM = SuperCap power module (RAID backup unit). See
2. Migrations from a RAID card to the embedded controller are not supported after-factory. See
3. Support for eight SAS drives requires an optional SCU upgrade ROM module on the motherboard.
4. Support for RAID 5 requires an optional RAID 5 software key module on the motherboard.
5. UCSC-CABLE1 is a kit of two mini-SAS cables. This pair of cables is shipped with every new system.
