A 6-port SATA controller is integrated on the system board. You can configure the onboard SATA controller either before or during installation with the ServerView Installation Manager. Using the ServerView Installation Manager is recommended.

IThe controller has its own configuration utility. For further information, refer to the "Embedded MegaRAID Software User’s Guide" (on the ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI RAID / SCSI Controllers).

IDescriptions of operating systems not covered in the controller manual are provided in the corresponding readme files on the driver CDs.

ITo control SAS hard disk drives an additional SAS/SATA RAID controller is necessary (see the following section).

5.4.2Configuring the SAS/SATA RAID controller

The server has a SAS/SATA RAID controller with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" functionality or "MegaRAID functionality". You can configure the SAS/SATA RAID controller either before or during installation with the ServerView Installation Manager. Using the ServerView Installation Manager is recommended.

IThe controller makes a separate utility available for IME configuration. For further information, refer to the "Integrated RAID for SAS User’s Guide" (on the ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers -
