Software SATA RAID

HP provides the SATA RAID feature through use of the Adaptec 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

To acquire a diskette drive option or CD-ROM drive option for a server, contact an HP authorized reseller.

USB diskette and CD-ROM drives

For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient.
HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB 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. HP hardware supports USB

version 1.1 or 2.0, depending on the version of the hardware.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally not

available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Operating environments which do not provide native USB support
