Embedded Software RAID Support

The system includes support for two embedded software RAID options:

•

Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) based on LSI* MegaRAID SW RAID technology

•

Intel

®

Rapid Storage Technology (RSTe)

Using the

<F2> BIOS Setup Utility, accessed during system POST,

options are available to enable/disable SW

RAID, and select which embedded software RAID option to use.

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2)

Features of the embedded software RAID option Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) include

the following:

•

Based on LSI* MegaRAID Software Stack

•

Software RAID with system providing memory and CPU utilization

•

Supported RAID Levels – 0,1,5,10

o

4 & 8 Port SATA RAID 5 support provided with appropriate Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key
