# ServeRAID C110 is an onboard hardware-assist, software RAID feature (Intel Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise [RSTe])
integrated into the Intel C232 Platform Controller Hub (PCH).
* Requires cache memory upgrade (47C8656, 47C8660, 47C8664, or 47C8668).
** One FoD upgrade enables the feature on all ServeRAID M5200 Series adapters (M5210, M5225) installed in the server.
*** One FoD upgrade enables the feature on all ServeRAID M1200 Series adapters (M1210, M1215) installed in the server.
Configuration notes:
The onboard ServeRAID C110 controller does not consume a PCIe slot.
The ServeRAID M1210 controller is supported only in the dedicated PCIe slot 1.
Other controllers for internal storage (M1215, M5210, N2215) are supported only in the PCIe slot 2.
The C110, M1210, M1215, M5210, and N2215 controllers are mutually exclusive, that is, only one of
them can be selected in the configuration.
Models of the System x3250 M6 that use the ServeRAID C110 controller do not support an upgrade
to a hardware RAID controller.
