Connecting MaxIQ Solid State Drives and other SSDs To connect an Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Drive or other SSD to your controller, use a directattached connection or a backplane connection. If your server does not have a standard 2.5inch drive tray, you must use a bracket/SLED which enables the SSD to fit properly (not included with MaxIQ SSD kit). Note: For MaxIQ caching applications, Series 5 and Series 2 controllers support Adaptec MaxIQ-branded Solid State Drives only. Adaptec Q-series controllers support Adaptec MaxIQbranded Solid State Drives plus select SSDs from other manufacturers. For RAID arrays, you can use any Solid State Drive on the compatibility list. See www.adaptec.com/compatibility for a list of MaxIQ-compatible SSDs.
