The ServeRAID BR10il v2 RAID controller and ServeRAID H1110 occupy the dedicated PCI-E slot on
x3200 M3 and does not consume regular PCI expansion slots. However, M1015, M5014, M5015, and
MR10i RAID controllers occupy one of the standard PCI Express x8 Gen 2 slots, therefore limiting the
maximum number of additional I/O adapter slots to 4. Only one RAID controller can be used with the
server to support internal HDDs.
