Introduction
Features
Onboard SAS controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality
An eight-channel SAS controller with “Integrated Mirroring Enhanced” (IME)
functionality is provided to operate the four hard drives. IME also provides RAID
functionality for configuration of the internal hard drives (RAID level 1, 1E).
I
A separate utility is available to the controller for IME configuration. For
further information, refer to the “Integrated RAID for SAS User’s Guide”
on the
ServerBooks
CD (select “Controllers” from the menu).
The RAID functionality can optionally be expanded with a corresponding PCI
expansion module (zero-channel RAID controller). In addition to RAID levels 0,
1 and 10, this controller also offers the option of configuring RAID-5 or RAID-50.
The ZCR controller uses the Onboard SAS controller using logic that is specially
integrated on the system board.
Onboard SATA controller
A four-channel SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four
SATA hard disk drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI SATA RAID
software supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.

The controller has its own configuration utility. More detailed information
may be found in the “LSI SATA Software RAID User’s Guide” manual (on
the
ServerBooks
CD under “Controller”).
An eight-channel PCI SATA RAID controller can optionally be used for
increased data security and availability of the SATA server variant. The PCI
SATA RAID controller supports RAID Level 5.

The controller has its own configuration utility. More detailed information
