IBM System x3300 M4 17
RAID controllers
The x3300 M4 includes the ServeRAID C105 onboard SATA controller with software RAID capabilities.
The C105 functionality is embedded on the Intel C600 chipset. On some models, this disk controller is
used to connect to the disk drives. On other models, a hardware RAID controller, such as the ServeRAID
H1110 or M1115, is installed, which deactivates the onboard C105 controller.
The following table lists the RAID controllers and controller upgrades that are used for internal disk
storage of the x3300 M4 server.
