* In the Storage controller column, RAID or HBA means that any combination of the M1215, M5210, and N2215
storage controllers is supported up to a maximum quantity listed; the numbers in brackets (x+y+z) specify the
number of drives connected to each of the storage controllers.
** One of the first three storage configurations listed in Table 8. For 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bay
configurations, the internal optical drive is not supported.
*** Two drives in the 2x 3.5-inch Rear HDD Kit are connected to the SAS expander on the 12-drive backplane, that
is, to the same storage controller as 12 drives on the front.
