CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
For the 24-drive version of the server, the RAID controller choices are:
(1) One plug-in RAID controller card.
Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and
the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed in
Tab le 5 along with
each RAID card description. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available
as factory-configured RAID options.
Select RAID Controller Options
Select one RAID controller and an appropriate RAID configuration option listed in Table 5.
NOTE: The 24-drive version of the server does not support embedded RAID, which is
normally installed on the motherboard and does not consume a PCIe slot. The only
RAID support available is through a plug-in RAID controller PCIe card.
