This document provides information on supported software and hardware for Dell PowerVault MD1000

The PowerVault MD1000 supported software and hardware are directly tied to the RAID controller to which it is
attached. If a PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E is supported in a server, then the PowerVault MD1000 is supported on
that server.
