Maximum Memory Speed
See the table below for the actual maximum memory transfer speed in Independent Channel / Memory
Sparing Configuration.
DDR3 memory speed depends on the type of DIMMs, the native memory bus speed of the memory
controller and memory configuration. All memory buses operate at the clock frequency of the DIMM with
the lowest frequency.
NOTE:
Memory voltage is set to 1.5V automatically when installing DDR-1866 RDIMMs.

The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.

To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
Up to two kinds of drives selected form SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs and SAS SSDs

NOTE:
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected form SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs and SAS SSDs
can be mixed in one system.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

See the table below for supported network interfaces and OS combinations.
Windows Server 2008 support BASP (Broadcom Advanced Server Program) or Intel PROSet teaming
while Windows Server 2012 and Linux support teaming with bonding function supported by OS.
NOTE:
NIC Teaming feature is not supported on iSCSI interfaces.
The network interfaces for teaming must be the same.
When 10GbE and 1GbE NIC teamings are mixed, the teams must be up to four per one system.
Using iSCSI
See the table below for supported network interfaces and operating system combinations.
NOTE:

6.2 External Storage Controller
6.2.1 RAID Controller
NOTE:
Only one external RAID controller can be installed when installing an internal RAID Controller with
RAID Backup Unit.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight in order to minimize the risk
of becoming multiple hard drives failure.
