Feature upgrade matrix
The ServeRAID M5210 and M5210e provide support for RAID 0, 1, and 10 as standard capabilities.
Additional optional functional upgrades are available to expand the standard capabilities. Some upgrades
do not depend on other upgrades and can be applied to standard controllers (we call them primary
upgrades). Certain upgrades cannot be applied to standard controllers and require that other upgrades
are enabled before applying these upgrades (we call them secondary upgrades). There are two types of
available upgrades: hardware (HW) and Feature on Demand (FoD). Hardware upgrades contain physical
parts (for example, cache module or supercapacitor). FoD upgrades are software licenses. The following
table lists the available primary upgrades, their capabilities, and types.
