Configuring advanced SATA or SAS hardware RAID
Some server models come with a required RAID card to provide advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID
functions to the server. You also can purchase the RAID card from Lenovo and install it into server models
that support the RAID card to get advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID functions. See “RAID card” on page
24 and “PCIe card” on page 58 for more information.
Note:
For server models with more than four HDDs or models that use SAS HDDs, a RAID card must
be installed.
Programs for configuring SATA/SAS hardware RAID
Lenovo provides the following programs to help you configure advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID:
• ThinkServer EasyStartup program to configure RAID
See “Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program” on page 41 and view the user guide from the main
interface of the program.
• WebBIOS Configuration Utility program (configuring RAID independently of the operating system)
To use the program, follow the instructions on the booting screen.
• MegaRAID Storage Manager program and the StorCLI Configuration Utility program (configuring RAID in
an operating system environment)
To install and use the MegaRAID Storage Manager program, refer to the following chapters in the
MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide
:
Note:
Some information in these chapters might be intended for the advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID
configurations and might not apply to the onboard SATA software configurations.
