Integrated Storage Controller Card
Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the expansion-card
riser for an integrated SAS or PERC 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.
