Support Matrix
RAID and non-RAID Controller Supported
Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and
Driver Versions
Starting with OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage Management Service is supported. The Storage
Management Service allows you to congure and manage your storage devices from within Server Administrator.
NOTE: The Storage Management Service mentioned in this guide refers to the enhanced Storage Management Service. Server
Administrator no longer supports the basic Storage Management Service (also known as Array Manager).
Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of PERC cards, and some systems
management releases also support SATA controllers. System administrators responsible for monitoring the compatibility of their systems'
storage devices need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each storage
controller version in turn supports a specic array of elements, including:
• Version of the Storage Management Service
• Dell system
• Firmware version number required for a particular controller
• Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specic driver
For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide at
www.dell.com/OpenManageManuals.

• The RAID controller card group contains the following controllers: H730P, H745, HBA330, HBA330 MMZ, AND S140.
