SAS Controller Card

Your system can have an optional SAS controller expansion card that provides
the SAS storage subsystem for your system's internal or hot-plug (when
available) hard drives. The controller supports either all-SAS or all-SATA hard
drive configurations. The controller also enables you to set up the hard drives
in RAID configurations as supported by the version of the SAS controller
included with your system. Both RAID and non-RAID versions of the
controller are available for your system. A SAS/RAID controller card can only
be installed in its dedicated slot (slot 2) on the system board. See the RAID
user documentation for information on the available RAID configurations
and for instructions on how to set up a RAID.
