Internal persistent storage
The R630 offers two types of persistent storage: LifeCycle Controller (LC 3.0) and Internal Dual SD
Module (IDSDM). A vFlash option is available with iDRAC8 Enterprise.
LifeCycle Controller 3.0
For more information on LC 3.0, visit
management/w/wiki/4126.dell-lifecycle-controller-integration-for-configuration-manager.
Internal Dual SD Module
The IDSDM card provides the following major functions:
Dual SD interface is maintained in a mirrored configuration (primary and secondary SD)
Provides full RAID1 functionality
Dual SD cards are not required; the module can operate with only one card but will provide no
redundancy
Enables support for Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) cards
USB interface to host system
I2C interface to host system and onboard EEPROM for out-of-band status reporting
Onboard LEDs show status of each SD card
A BIOS Setup Redundancy setting supports Mirror Mode or Disabled
