The following sections briefly describe the minimum system requirements and the configurable features. Links are provided to other chapters and appendixes containing more detailed information.
1.1.1Operating Systems Compatibility
The following operating systems are compatible with the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk.
■Solaris™ 10
■Solaris x86 10
■Windows Server 2003
■Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
1.1.2Chassis Compatibility
Before using this AMC.1-HDD SAS disk, review the specifications of the chassis and backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and any limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user-defined pin-outs. For example, some chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards and drive resources. The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is intended for an AdvancedTCA AMC carrier card site that is AMC.1 compliant. It is your responsibility to verify system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in improper operation or equipment damage.
1.1.3Blade Server Compatibility
The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk modules plug into ATCA carrier boards that support a combination of AMC.1 (PCI Express) and AMC.3 (SAS) storage signaling.
