Compatible Intel RAID Controllers
This Intel RAID Controller SRCMR is compatible with the following Intel RAID Controllers using
firmware version 31 and above. All Intel RAID Controllers using earlier firmware versions are not
compatible.
•
SRCU31A
•
SRCU31LA
✏
NOTE
Compatible refers to the ability of the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR to read the RAID
configuration information located on hard disk drives that are members of RAID arrays that have
been created on compatible adapters. Thus RAID arrays created on compatible adapters are
interchangeable between the adapters (Array Roaming).
Adapter Device Limitation Support:
•
RAID arrays contain

Host Drives (at least 1 and up to 16 maximum)

Hard Disk Drives up to 30 maximum spanning both channels (all host drives that are
created on an existing RAID array will have their capacity evenly distributed across all
member disk drives of the RAID array)
•
Host Drives

Can span across both channels

Can not span across RAID arrays

Note:
1. Each Host Drive can only be associated with one RAID Array
2. To create a new RAID array you must initially create a Host Drive selecting the hard disk drives (thar are
available and not already memebers of a RAID array) that you wish to be members of the new RAID array.
