Dell MD3000i iSCSI RAID Controller, v.06.70.15.60, A02

Please consult the MD Support Matrix on support.dell.com for validated configurations. If your MD3000i or MD1000 configuration is unsupported, please contact Dell Technical Support for assistance.

MD1000 A03 or later firmware is required to support MD3000i expansion with MD1000. It is critical that MD1000 EMMs are flashed behind the PERC adapter prior to expanding behind the MD3000i system. See MD3000i Installation Guide for more details regarding expansion.

Please refer to the "Upgrading to SATA on MD3000i" document for information regarding updating existing MD3000i storage enclosures to support SATA II physical disks. This document is available on http://support.dell.com
