ServeRAID M5110 and M5110e SAS/SATA Controllers for IBM System x 7
Feature upgrade matrix
The ServeRAID M5110 and M5110e SAS/SATA controllers provide support for RAID 0, 1, and 10 as
standard "out-of-the-box" capabilities. Additional functional upgrades optionally are available to expand
the standard capabilities. Some upgrades do not depend on other upgrades and can be applied to
"out-of-the-box" controllers (we call them primary upgrades). Certain upgrades cannot be applied to
"out-of-the-box" controllers and require that other upgrades are enabled before applying these upgrades
(we call them secondary upgrades). There are two types of available upgrades: hardware (HW) and
Feature-on-Demand (FoD). Hardware upgrades contain physical parts (for example, cache module or
battery). FoD upgrades are software licenses. The following table lists the available primary upgrades,
their capabilities, and types.

primary feature upgrades, on which the secondary upgrades depend, are listed in their respective

enabling the secondary feature listed in that particular row.
