Overview
The Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) S110 is targeted as a low-cost
RAID solution for Dell PowerEdge value systems.
The PERC S110 solution has the following characteristics:
• Supports SATA hard disk drives (HDD) and SATA solid state drives (SSD)
• Runs from the I/O Controller HUB (ICH) or Platform Controller Hub
(PCH) chipset on the platform system board and requires no additional
hardware
• Supports up to four physical drives
• Supports software RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10
• Supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Human
Interface Infrastructure (HII) for managing the PERC S110
• Allows SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs to co-exist on a single controller
• Supports physical disks of the same type (SATA HDD, SATA SSD) but of
same or different capacities
• Allows virtual disks to be at different RAID levels on the same controller,
but not supported on the same group of physical disks
NOTE: The PERC S110 is an integral component of the system board and does not
require separate installation.
This document is intended for use by system administrators and technicians
who are familiar with the storage system installation and configuration.
Prerequisites for configuring and using the controller include familiarity with:
