CAUTION: When removing or replacing the PERC Mini Monolithic Controller, hold the card

 

by its edges marked by the blue touch points. Do not handle the card while holding the

 

battery or the heatsink.

in Removing The PERC Controller.

 

CAUTION: Multi-bit ECC errors cause data corruption and data loss. In case of MBE

 

errors, contact Dell Technical Support.

Probable Cause:

Multi-bit ECC errors occur in the memory and can corrupt cached data and discard it.

Corrective

Contact Dell Technical Support.

Action:

 

Configured Disks Removed Or Not Accessible Error Message

Error Message:

Some configured disks have been removed from your system or are

 

no longer accessible. Check your cables and ensure all disks

 

are present. Press any key or ’C’ to continue.

Probable Cause:

The message indicates that some configured disks were removed. If the disks were not

 

removed, they are no longer accessible. The SAS cables for your system might be improperly

 

connected.

Corrective

Check the cable connections and fix any issues. Restart the system. If there are no cable

Action:

problems, press any key or <C> to continue.

Battery Discharged Or Disconnected Error Message

Error Message:

Probable Cause:

Corrective

Action:

The battery is currently discharged or disconnected. Verify the connection and allow 30 minutes for charging. If the battery is properly connected and it has not returned to operational state after 30 minutes of charging then contact technical support for additional assistance.

This message may appear for controller without battery, depending on the virtual disks’ policies.

The controller battery is missing or currently inaccessible, contact Dell support if the problem persist after 30 minutes.

The controller battery is completely discharged and needs to be charged for it to become active. You must first charge the battery and wait for a few minutes for the system to detect it.

Degraded State Of Virtual Disks

A redundant virtual disk is in a degraded state when one or more physical disks have failed or are inaccessible. For example, if a RAID 1 virtual disk consists of two physical disks and one of them fails or become inaccessible, the virtual disk become degraded.

H310, H710, H710P, H810 specifications

Dell offers a range of storage controller technologies, notably the H810, H710, H710P, and H310, which cater to different enterprise needs. These controllers are designed to support various storage configurations, enhancing overall system performance and reliability.

The Dell H810 is a high-performance PCIe 3.0 RAID controller that supports up to eight internal drives and is particularly suited for demanding workloads. It features advanced RAID levels including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing flexibility for various data protection strategies. The H810 also supports up to 32TB of storage capacity, making it suitable for environments that require substantial data management capabilities.

The H710 is another powerful RAID controller, widely recognized for its balance of performance and cost-efficiency. It features 1GB of cache memory, which aids in accelerating read and write operations. The H710 supports the same RAID levels as the H810 and allows for up to 512MB of non-volatile memory. This ensures data integrity even in the event of a power failure, making it reliable for critical applications.

The H710P is an enhanced version of the H710, with a significant upgrade in its cache capabilities. It offers 2GB of battery-backed cache memory, further enhancing data processing speeds and improving responsiveness. The H710P is ideal for intensive workloads and virtualization, where rapid access to data is essential. This controller also includes features such as RAID storage pooling, intelligent data tiering, and support for multiple virtual disks.

Finally, the H310 is a cost-effective option for small to medium-sized businesses or those with less demanding storage requirements. It offers similar RAID support as the higher-end controllers but operates with a simpler architecture. The H310 features 512MB of cache, providing sufficient performance for regular workloads without the additional complexities of more advanced controllers.

In summary, Dell's H810, H710, H710P, and H310 storage controllers each serve distinct purposes, providing various features, technologies, and performance characteristics tailored to different business needs. From high-capacity storage solutions to user-friendly setups, Dell’s offerings ensure that organizations can efficiently manage their data storage requirements.
