Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure Owner's Manual
Integrated storage controller cards
Your system
includes two dedicated expansion card slots on the system board for
up to two integrated controller cards that provide the integrated
storage subsystem for the internal hard drives in your system.
The storage controllers support SAS hard drives and also enable you to set up the hard drives in RAID configurations as supported by the version of the controllers included with your system.
NOTE: For information on
setting up and configuring the storage controller cards, see the Dell Shared PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) 8 For Dell PowerEdge
VRTX Systems User’s Guide at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
