With a RAID card configured in the host server, the SCSI disk storage array can be attached to one server in a 14-drive joined-bus configuration; to one or two servers in a split-bus configuration where each bus controls seven drives; or to two servers with 13 drives as part of a cluster configuration.
Dell OpenManageTM software is used to configure and manage the storage enclosure’s RAID protection. This software also reports the status and environmental conditions of various components within the chassis.
