ATTENTION!

Make sure you observe the safety notes in chapter "Important information" on page 9 .

The RAID controller "PRAID CM400i" (D2937) is a high-performance PCIe

Gen3 x 8 to 8-port SAS/SATA bridge built on the LSI SAS3108 dual core. It supports 1.5Gb/s, 3.0Gb/s, 6.0Gb/s and 12Gb/s SAS, SATA and solid state drives (SSDs) with different RAID levels.

The MPI solution offered with this design includes a basic integrated RAID (IR) capability consisting of RAID 0, 1, and 1E provided at no charge beyond the silicon cost. IR operation requires no Cache, but does require a small nonvolatile SRAM.
