Integrated storage controller cards

Your system includes two dedicated expansion-card slots on the system board for up to two integrated controller cards
that provide the integrated storage subsystem for the internal hard drives in your system.
The storage controllers support SAS hard drives and also enable you to set up the hard drives in RAID configurations as
supported by the version of the controllers included with your system.

NOTE: For information on setting up and configuring the storage controller cards, see the
