Dell EMC PowerEdge R240 - Internal Dual SD Module; Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS)

• External LTO-8 SAS tape drives
Internal Dual SD Module
The Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) is optional. The IDSDM contains two SD ports directly on the motherboard. The modules are
redundant. Supported iDSDM microSD cards capacity are 8/16/32/64GB
The IDSDM card provides the following functions:
• Dual SD interface is maintained in a mirrored conguration (primary and secondary SD)
• Provides full RAID1 functionality
• Dual SD cards are not required; the module can operate with only one card but will provide no redundancy
• Enables support for Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) cards
• USB interface to host system
• I²C interface to host system and onboard EEPROM for out-of-band status reporting
• Onboard LEDs show status of each SD card
• A BIOS Setup Redundancy setting supports Mirror Mode or Disabled
Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS)
BOSS is oered as a means of booting the PowerEdge R240 servers to a full OS when:
• A solution such as IDSDM may be desired, but the target OS for BOSS is a full OS (not just a hypervisor)
• The user needs to maximize their number of drive bays
BOSS cards take up a PCIe slot and are not hot-plug capable. 1x or 2x 240GB modules are available. Dual (2x) module congs can be
set up for either RAID 1 or No RAID. Single (1x) module congs can only be set up in a No RAID cong.
