Supported Storage Controllers and Cables
This server supports a single, PCIe-style, SAS RAID or HBA controller that plugs into a dedicated internal socket.
Note |
For SFF, 12-drives version only: Do not mix controller types in the server. Do not use the embedded SATA controller and a hardware-based RAID controller card to control front-loading drives at the same time. This combination is not supported and could result in data loss. |
Note |
NVMe PCIe SSDs cannot be controlled by a SAS/SATA RAID controller. |
This server supports the RAID and HBA controller options and cable requirements shown in the following table.
