Embedded 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.
