NOTE Refer to the MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide for detailed steps on configuring groups and virtual drives.

9. Install the operating system driver.

The controller can operate under various operating systems, but you must install the software drivers first.

The MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD includes the software drivers for the supported operating systems, along with documentation. You can view the supported operating systems and download the latest drivers for RAID controllers from the LSI website at http://www.lsi.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do. Access the download center, and follow the steps to download the driver.

Refer to the MegaRAID SAS Device Driver Installation User Guide on the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD for more information about installing the driver. Be sure to use the latest service packs that are provided by the operating system manufacturer and to review the readme file that accompanies the driver.

Supported RAID Levels

This RAID controller supports drive groups using the following RAID levels:

 RAID 0 (data striping) – Data is striped across all drives in the group, enabling very fast data throughput. No data

redundancy exists. All data is lost if any drive fails.

 RAID 1 (drive mirroring) – Data is written simultaneously to both drives in the drive group, providing complete

data redundancy if one drive fails. RAID 1 supports an even number of drives from 2 to 32 in a single span.

 RAID 5 (drive striping with distributed parity) – Data is striped across all drives in the group. Part of the

capacity of each drive stores parity information that reconstructs data if a drive fails. RAID 5 provides good data throughput for applications with high read-request rates.

 RAID 6 (drive striping with distributed parity across two drives) – Data is striped across all drives in the group,

and two parity drives provide protection against the failure of up to two drives. In each row of data blocks, two sets of parity data are stored.

 RAID 10 (RAID 1 and RAID 0 in spanned groups) – RAID 10 uses mirrored pairs of drives to provide complete

data redundancy. RAID 10 provides high data-throughput rates.

 RAID 50 (RAID 5 and RAID 0 in spanned groups) – RAID 50 uses both parity and drive striping across multiple

drives to provide complete data redundancy. RAID 50 provides high data-throughput rates.

 RAID 60 (RAID 6 and RAID 0 in spanned groups) – RAID 60 uses both distributed parity across two parity drives

and drive striping across multiple drives to provide complete data redundancy and high fault tolerance.

NOTE Refer to the MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide on the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD for more information about RAID levels.

MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i and SAS 9266-8i RAID Controllers Quick Installation Guide July 2012 Connecting the LSIiBBU09 Unit to the MegaRAID SAS 9266 RAID Controller

Connecting a Remote LSIiBBU09 Unit to the MegaRAID SAS 9266 RAID Controller

The procedures in this section show how to connect a remote LSIiBBU09 unit by cable to your MegaRAID SAS 9266 RAID controller. To connect a remote LSIiBBU09 unit to your RAID controller, perform the following tasks:

1. Remove the RAID controller from the computer. See Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer.

2. Connect the cable between the RAID controller and the remote LSIiBBU09 unit. See Connecting the Cable

Between the RAID Controller and the Remote LSIiBBU09 Unit on page 23.

3. Reinstall the RAID controller in the computer. See Reinstalling the RAID Controller in the Computer on page 23.

NOTE Because server and workstation chassis vary from vendor to vendor, no standard mounting option exists that is compatible with the various system configurations. The LSIiBBU09 battery kit, in combination with the Remote Battery Kit, includes the battery, daughtercard, cable, and standoff. This combination enables authorized resellers and chassis manufacturers to customize the location of the remote battery to provide the most flexibility within various environments. The BBU-BRACKET-05 remote mount board is an option, because it has holes appropriate for mounting MegaRAID BBU units.

Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer

Follow these steps to remove the RAID controller from the computer.

1. Turn off the power, and unplug the power cords.

2. Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.
