ONTROLLERS
The HT-1000 is an I/O controller for HyperTransport™-based server platforms. It incorporates all of the
RAIDCore BC4000 Series functionality directly through XelCore.
Boards equipped with the HT-1000 are considered part of the BC4000 Series and use the same drivers as all
other BC4000 Series controllers.
All HT-1000 controllers use the highest RAIDCore licensing level.

IFFERENCES
The license level defines the RAID functionality supported by a specific RAIDCore controller model. Three
license levels are supported by the RAIDCore software. Various features are enabled when different license
levels are purchased. Licenses are keyed to the module serial number that is embedded in the hardware, with
a unique serial number for each individual controller.
The BCXX10, BCXX50, and BCXX52 license levels and associated descriptions are shown in
Table 2
.
The licensing level can be viewed from the BIOS banner or the BIOS Configuration Utility. After booting to your
operating system, you can view the license level and/or modify license keys with either RAIDConsole (see
“Viewing or Changing the License Level” on page 99
) or the bcadm
application
(see
“Viewing or Changing
License Levels: bcadm --license” on page 145
).
Contact your local distributor to purchase license key upgrades for your RAIDCore controllers.
