PCIe Drive Controllers in BaseIO Blade

RAID PCIe Disk Controller

007-5832-002
The SGI UV 2000 system offers a RAID or non-RAID (JBOD) PCIe-based drive controller that
resides in the BaseIO blade's PCIe slot. Figure 1-9 shows an example of the system disk HBA
controller location in the BaseIO blade.
Note: The PCIe drive controller (upper-right section in Figure 1-9) always hosts the system boot
drives.
