Caveats
■
If the integrated RAID controller on the server motherboard is used (no PCIe or mezzanine
card controller selected), all the drives must be SATA.
A SAS Extender is not field-upgradable to a SAS Expander, so if you are configuring a system with
eight or more drives or anticipate the system will implement more than eight drives in the
future, make sure you order a SAS Expander. You can replace an extender or expander only with
the same type of card.
