N8103-179
NOTE:
Up to two Flash Backup Units can be installed in the system. Therefore, N8103-181 Flash backup Unit cannot be installed for
N8103-176, N8103-177 or N8103-178 when two N8103-179 RAID controllers (including Flash Backup Unit as standard) are
installed.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in order to minimize the risk of
becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight in order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard
drives failure.
