Dell PowerEdge R630 - PCIe Risers and Slots

Table 43. IDSDM New Features (continued)
IDSDM New Features
New Features Description
Only secondary SD card will be placed in mismatch state. If
the secondary card does not match the speed or has lower
storage capacity than the primary card, the secondary card
will be placed in the MISMATCH state.
Enhanced Support for Write-Protected SD Cards After insertion, a card is determined to be in WRITE
PROTECTED state if write protect notch is enabled.
Cards in the WRITE PROTECTED state will be treated as Read
Only. If at least one card is in the WRITE PROTECTED state
and RAID is enabled, the iDSDM will operate in the degraded
RAID state. RAID will automatically be disabled if both cards
are in this state.
Seamless SD Card Assignments IDSDM will bring secondary SD card online and will make it
primary if, for some reason, primary SD card fails.
If RAID is enabled, there will be no compromise in functionality
however, system will notify user of degraded RAID status.
Enriched Error Reporting New errors have been implemented to help root cause a
failure.
Failures will be in iDRAC logs.
Multiple failures can be now recorded and logged.
Mass Erase for Enhanced Security Mass erase options are provided in iDSDM. Enabling this
register will clean up all the data preset on SD cards.
UHS-1 SD Card Support New to 13G. Was not supported on 12G.
