Cisco Cisco UCS C3160 Rack Server Hoja De Datos

You can choose either the default embedded software RAID or the embedded software RAID 5 
key upgrade.

■

The default RAID configuration is embedded software RAID, which supports SATA HDDs (RAID 
0, 1, 10). 

■

The embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10.

You can choose the Cisco 12G SAS RAID controller, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller card slot. 

This RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 10 (without the FBWC option) and supports up to RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 

50, 60 (with the FBWC option).

Instead of a RAID controller, you can choose a SAS HBA for internal drive connectivity 
(non-RAID):

■

Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller slot.

In addition to a RAID controller or JBOD controller for internal drives, you can choose the 
following SAS HBA for external connectivity (non-RAID), which plugs into one of the PCIe slots:

■

Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA (provides 8 SAS ports for external JBOD connectivity).

NOTE:  The embedded software RAID in the Intel chipset hub is split into two, SATA 
and sSATA (secondary SATA). They are seen as separate software RAID controllers and 
are configurable separately. For more details, see 

.

NOTE:  The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per RAID controller is 
as follows:

■

Embedded RAID = 8

■

Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller = 64
