CONFIGURING the SERVER
— Note that only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and
it must be installed in the full-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which
is the only slot that supports NCSI. So take this into account when populating RAID
controller cards.
■ In 2-CPU configurations, there are two PCIe slots available (one full-height slot and one
half-height slot).
— If you choose software RAID, you can select up to two additional optional PCIe cards
from
Tab le 8 on page 21
— If you choose a plug-in RAID controller from Table 5 on page 15, you will be able to
select one additional optional PCIe card from Table 8 on page 21.
■ The optional plug-in PCIe RAID controller cards are all half-height. If you choose one of
these cards in a 2-CPU configuration, only the full-height PCIe card slot will be available for
an additional optional PCIe card.
■ Note that only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must
be installed in the full-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which is the only slot
that supports NCSI. So take this into account when populating RAID controller cards.
■ You can choose only one type of RAID controller, either software RAID or a PCIe plug-in
controller. If you choose software RAID, both PCIe slots are available for adding optional
PCIe cards.
■ For plug-in RAID controller cards, you can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1,
5, 6, or 10), which is preconfigured at the factory. The RAID level you choose must be an
available RAID choice for the controller selected. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported,
depending on the RAID controller selected, although they are not available as configuration
options.
■ No RAID factory preconfigured RAID option can be chosen (a factory-configured RAID volume
is not available) if:
— there are no drives, or
— SAS and SATA drives are mixed, or
— different capacity drives are mixed
