Integrated Storage Controller Card

Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the riser for an

integrated SAS controller card that provides the integrated storage subsystem

for your system’s internal hard drives. The controller supports SAS and SATA

hard drives and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID

configurations as supported by the version of the storage controller included

with your system.
