Content

• See ServerProven for controller compatibility
• See Configuration and Options Guide (COG) for all parts that are configurable with this system

Notes:

• (1) The ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA Controller enables the IBM System x3850 M2 onboard LSI 1078 controller with battery backed DDR2 cache (iTBBU) and the ability to support additional RAID levels 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 (as with the onboard 1078, 0 and 1 are also supported). It plugs into a dedicated DIMM socket in x3850 M2. MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), included with ServeRAID-MR10k, is a robust RAID management, configuration and reporting application. These controllers are ideal for supporting server and workgroup applications where high levels of sustained read and write operations are required.
  
  
• (2) The ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller is a high performance PCIe RAID Controller for External Direct Attached Storage, including IBM System Storage EXP3000. This RAID adapter provides investment protection by supporting SAS and SATA hard drive configurations, and providing performance enhancements enabled by a standard battery. The battery enables cached data protection during unexpected power outages for ServeRAID-10M when operating in its higher performance, write back, mode.
