CONFIGURING the SERVER

STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION

The RAID controller choices are:

■Embedded RAID (on motherboard)

NOTE: If you do not select a mezzanine card, a plug-in PCIe RAID card, or one of the embedded RAID upgrade options, you will have an embedded SATA-only RAID controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10)

■Mezzanine RAID controller cards

■Plug-in PCIe RAID controller cards

Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed with each RAID card description.

NOTE: The number of RAID groups (logical drives/ virtual drives) supported per controller is as follows:

■Embedded RAID = 8 drives

■Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card = 16 drives

■LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i RAID controller card = 64 drives

Select RAID Options

Select as follows:

■One embedded RAID upgrade option (see Table 5), or

■One mezzanine RAID controller (see Table 6), or

■One PCIe RAID controller card (see Table 7 on page 19)
