Additional RAID requirements are listed as follows:
 All connection types are backplane.
 X indicates not supported.
 The x16 backplane is supported only by PERC H700.
 The x4 backplane is supported by both PERC H200 and PERC H700.
 SATA drives are supported only on the x4 backplane. A maximum of only one SATA drive is
allowed and is only in the C1 configuration.
12.6 Storage Controllers
12.6.1 PERC H200
The PERC H200 integrated HBA is a SAS 2.0 6Gb native PCIe half-length half-height expansion card
that plugs into a dedicated x8 storage slot. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and non-RAID hard
drive configurations. It incorporates one four-channel mini-SAS internal connector (SFF8087) for
connection to internal x4 2.5” drive backplane. Since there are a maximum of up to 4-drives, the
second mini-SAS connector from H200 to the backplane would not get used. PERC H200 will only be
supported when the 4-drive 2.5” backplane is present on R910.
12.6.2 PERC H700
For customers who need a more advanced hardware RAID solution, the PERC H700 (formerly known as
PERC 7/iR) is an option. The PERC H700 is a SAS 2.0 6Gb half-length PCIe x8 expansion card that uses
the LSI 2108 ROC (RAID on Chip) processor running at 800MT/s with a PCI Express host interface and
DDR2 memory. It supports 512MB cache that is battery backed. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,
RAID 6, RAID 50, RAID 60 and PRL-11 hard drive configurations. It incorporates two four-channel
mini-SAS connectors (SFF8087) for connection to internal x4 or x16 2.5” drive backplanes. The second
mini-SAS connectors would not get used when connecting PERC H700 to the x4 internal backplane.
