Storage controller
The 24-drive version of the server supports the following RAID
controllers:
■
RAID plug-in controller card options (these cards consume PCIe slots):
• LSI MegaRAID 9265CV-8i (with 1 GB Transportable Memory Module
(TMM) data cache and SuperCap for data cache power backup)
• LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i
• LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i
■
The server backplane configuration is as follows:
• A 24-drive backplane with an expander. With this backplane, the
9265CV-8i controller supports up to 24 internal drives and the 9240-8i
and 9220-8i controllers each support up to 16 internal drives.
Internal storage devices
■
With the 24-drive backplane, up to 24 2.5-inch SAS or SATA
hot-swappable hard disk drives (HDDs)
■
One connector on the motherboard that can accommodate a USB 2.0
drive. You can order an 8 GB drive for this connector and use it as a
hypervisor or license dongle. The 8 GB USB drive comes blank.
