Product Name / Description
Part Number
Controller
RAID Controller (2GB, RAID0/1/5/6)
LSI MegaRAID SAS 9380-8e
RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60, 2GB, Ext. 8, PCIe 3.0 x8, SAS 12Gb/s, SATA
6Gb/s,
Flash cache protection modules included
N8103-179
NOTE:
 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.
 For VMware ESXi, there are some limitations concerning the number of installable PCI cards. Refer to Supported PCI Cards
and Installable Slots for details.
