Preface
PCI SAS controller
To run the four SAS/SATA hard disk drives, the server is shipped with one of the
following two PCI SAS controllers:
–
PCI SAS controller with “Integrated Mirroring Enhanced” (IME)
IME supports RAID level 0, 1 and 1E configuration of the internal hard disk
drives.
I
A separate utility is available to the controller for IME configuration.
Further information can be found in the “Integrated RAID for SAS
User’s Guide” (on the ServerBooks DVD under “Controllers”).
–
PCI SAS controller with MegaRAID functionality
RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6 and 60 are supported. If required, a BBU (=
battery backup unit) can save the memory content even if the power fails.

A separate utility is available to the controller for RAID configuration.
For further information, refer to the “SAS/SATA Controller MegaRAID
1064 / 1068 / 1078 Installation Guide” on the ServerBooks DVD
