The growing requirement to store huge amounts of data with uninterrupted availability and reliability calls for a high-density point-to-point RAID storage solution. The MegaRAID SAS 84016E addresses any data availability concerns associated with deploying large number of drives in mission-critical environments. It allows system builders to direct-connect up to 16 SATA and/or SAS drives. Also, by leveraging SAS expander technology, this adapter can support up to 122 physical devices for the most data-intensive environments.
This document describes how to install the MegaRAID Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 84016E RAID Controller and connect it to physical disk drives and expanders. The MegaRAID SAS 84016E RAID Controller can be installed in a PCI Express expansion slot on a motherboard.
This manual is the primary reference for the operating system drivers provided with the LSI® MegaRAID® devices. It describes the drivers for all supported operating systems and explains how to install them.
This document explains how to use the MegaRAID Storage Manager? software, WebBIOS, and Command Line Interface (CLI) utilities to configure, monitor, and maintain MegaRAID® Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controllers and the storage-related devices connected to them.
This manual is the primary reference for the operating system drivers provided with the LSI MegaRAID® devices. It describes the drivers for all supported operating systems and explains how to install them. The controller can run under MS-DOS or any DOS-compatible operating system using the standard AT BIOS INT 13h hard disk drive interface. To use the controller with other operating systems, you must install software drivers. Driver files for supported operating systems are available on the Universal Driver Suite CD that accompanied your MegaRAID controller. LSI updates the drivers frequently. To ensure you have the current version of this driver, download the driver from the LSI web site: http://www.lsi.com.
