Supported RAID Controllers and Required Cables
This server supports the RAID controller options and cable requirements shown in Table C-1.
Caution Do not mix controller types in the server. Do not use the embedded MegaRAID controller and a hardware
RAID controller card at the same time. This is not supported and could result in data loss.
Note Dual controllers are not supported.
