Supported RAID Controllers and Required Cables

This server supports the RAID controller options and cable requirements shown in

Table C-1

Note

This server contains a default drive backplane called an

extender

, which supports controller connection

for up to 8 drives. To control more than 8 drives (maximum 16), the server must be ordered with the
optional

expander

backplane. The extender/expander backplanes are not field-upgradeable.

Note

Different cables might be required when connecting to the extender versus the expander, as described in

Table C-1

Note

Do not mix controller types in the server. Dual controllers are not supported.
