LSI 8344ELP, LSI 8888ELP, and LSI 9260-8i Setup
The LSI 8344ELP, LSI 8888ELP, and LSI 9260-8i are 8-port SATA/SAS RAID controllers providing
additional SAS support for the HP xw8000, xw9000, and Z series Workstations. The xw8000,
xw9000, and Z series Workstations also have onboard SAS RAID capabilities that can be described
as hardware-assisted RAID; the 8344ELP, 8888ELP, and 9260-8i plug-in cards are considered to be
full hardware RAID.
NOTE:
Although the controller provides functionality for SATA RAID, SATA RAID is not supported on
HP Linux Workstations.
Use the following steps as a guide to set up the LSI hardware or SAS RAID. Details vary based on the
specific configuration used. In particular, some of the interface screens in the LSI MegaRAID WebBIOS
configuration utility vary from one model to another.
1.

2.
When prompted, press
CTRL-H
to enter the LSI WebBIOS utility. WebBIOS runs after POST
