June 2014
Overview
Driver Names
The SAS RAID controllers support the SAS protocol as described in the Serial Attached SCSI Standard, version 2.0, and
the Serial ATA III (SATA III) protocol defined by the Serial ATA specification, version 3.0. SATA III is an extension to
SATA 2.0.
The drivers perform these functions:
 The PCI Express protocol
 Multiple RAID storage adapters (RSAs)
 The ability to see newly configured logical drives in the configuration software utility without rebooting
the system
 The random deletion of logical drives that were created by using MegaRAID Storage Manager™ (refer to the
MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide for more information)
 The use of the remaining array capacity by MegaRAID Storage Manager
1.1.2 Driver Updates

recent documentation. If you have a question about a feature, consult the readme file that accompanies the driver,
or contact your MegaRAID support representative. Be sure to use the latest service packs provided by the
OS manufacturer.
You can download the latest drivers and software on the LSI website at
