 Only one SAS JBOD Enclosure can be connected to one RAID controller.  4Kn sector drives are not supported with the RAID controller.  One battery backup unit must be installed per 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.

 It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight in order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard

General Supplementary Matters

HDD

 Capacity of Hard disk drive is displayed in decimal not binary. 1GB＝1000^3B、1TB=1000^4B.

PCI expansion slot

 Transfer speed of PCI Express

 PCI Express (PCIe): 2.5Gb/s (simplex) per lane  PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0): 5Gb/s (simplex) per lane  PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0): 8Gb/s (simplex) per lane

Time display

 A system clock is affected by temperature conditions in storage. If high accuracy of the system clock is required, use of

NPT servers is recommended.

Memory Supplementary matters

Installation rule

 The number of memory which can be installed varies depending on number of installed CPUs.  This installation rule defined to maximize performance efficiently in multiple cores and tasks operation.  Registered DIMM (RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) can be installed up to 12 per 1CPU.  Mixing of RDIMM and LRDIMM is not allowed to be installed.

When install DIMMs, higher capacity memory must be installed preferentially, if ignored this rule, it may cause failures of DIMMs. This rule applies in factory installation.

For dual CPU system, install DIMM to CPU1 firstly and then to CPU2 alternately. Memory population varies with number of installed DIMMs. In installation of 5, 7, 9 or 11 DIMMs per CPU, optimal performance might NOT be obtained. Other memory populations are recommended.

Internal drive supplementary matters

Conditions of internal drives in default factory configuration

In default factory configuration, there are some conditions of drive types and RAID levels can be installed

as below.

Common

 All drives in default factory configuration should be of the same type, sector and rotation speed.  For the shipment with RAID array, select the drives in the same capacity as many as needed.

RAID controller configuration

 RAID level 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 can be installed for default factory configuration shipment. Selectable RAID levels are depending on the

RAID controller.

 Capacity of Logical drive can be within 2TB with legacy boot mode, capacity of logical drive can be within the total capacity of

logical disks with UEFI boot mode.

 As factory shipment, Initial cache policy of RAID controllers is Write Through for N8103-189, Write back for N8103-190/191.

Conditions for mixing of Internal Drives

 Mixing of different type of SSD, HDD and mixing of HDD and SSD are not allowed to be installed in default factory configuration.  RAID controller is required for mixing of Internal Drives  Mixed Internal Drives cannot be installed in the same RAID array.  When using hot spare disk for different RAID arrays which consist of various type of drives, assign “Dedicated Hot Spare” to each

RAID arrays with the same type of drive, to prevent from mixing different type of drives in a RAID array. “Global Hot Spare” cannot be used.

Mixing of different type of drives

Two types of drive can be installed in standard drive cage (8slots) and optional drive cage (8slots), in total, up to four types of drive using both cages. There is nine “type”, such as SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512e), SAS HDD 15,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512n), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA SSD(ME/VE/RI).

See some examples as below.
