Embedded SATA RAID
HP provides the SATA RAID feature through use of the HP Storage Manager. This feature enables RAID
functionality (RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10) for the embedded SATA controller in the system.
Required hardware
Installing the SATA RAID driver may require a diskette drive and CD-ROM drive. Some servers do not ship
with these drives as standard hardware.
NOTE:
Systems with Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 and HP embedded drivers do not
require additional hardware.
Diskette and CD-ROM drive options

USB diskette and CD-ROM drives
For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient.
NOTE:
To use a USB drive key in place of the diskette drive, see "Using a USB drive key as a
virtual driver diskette (on page
)."
HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided by
the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB
devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
