Internal dual SD module indicator codes
The Internal Dual SD module (IDSDM) provides you with a redundant SD card solution. You can congure the IDSDM for storage or as the 
OS boot partition. The IDSDM card oers the following features:
• Dual card operation — maintains a mirrored conguration by using SD cards in both the slots and provides redundancy.
NOTE
: When the Redundancy option is set to Mirror Mode in the Integrated Devices screen of System Setup, the information 
is replicated from one SD card to another.
• Single card operation — single card operation is supported, but without redundancy.
The following table describes the IDSDM indicator codes:
