* Installation of ServeRAID-BR10il v2 is only supported on simple-swap models and requires optional Software RAID
to Hardware RAID Upgrade Kit (part number 69Y1360).
** The Advanced Feature Key and Performance Accelerator Key cannot be used at the same time. Only one key can
be installed on a given RAID controller.
The BR10il v2 RAID controller is installed in a dedicated PCIe slot in the x3620 M3 and does not consume
either of the two regular PCIe expansion slots. However, the M1015, M5014, or M5015 RAID controller
does occupy one of the two standard PCIe 2.0 x8 slots when installed, therefore limiting the maximum
number of additional I/O adapter slots to one. Only one RAID controller can be used with the server to
support internal disk drives.
The ServeRAID BR10il v2 SAS/SATA Controller has the following specifications:
One Mini-SAS internal connector

Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E

3 Gbps throughput per port

Based on the LSI 1064E controller

PCI Express 2.0 x4 host interface

Stripe size: 64 KB (fixed)

