3-6 ServeRAID-MR10is SAS/SATA Controller Characteristics
3.3.3 Fault Tolerance
Table 3.5 shows the fault tolerance features of the ServeRAID-MR10is
controller.
3.3.4 Electrical Characteristics
All power is supplied to the ServeRAID-MR10is controller through the
PCI Express 3.3V rails and the 12V rail. Onboard switching regulator
circuitry operating from the 3.3V rails and the 12V rail provide the
necessary voltages. The following states determine the typical current
consumption of the controller:
•
State 1: During a hard reset
•
State 2: During a disk stress test
