NeXtScale nx360 M4 23
If you do not use the 3.5-inch RAID cage or you are using 2.5-inch or 1.8-inch drives in the nx360 M4,
then the internal drives will be connected to a separate controller than the drives in the storage tray and
you will not be able to form a RAID array spanning both internal drives and drives in the storage tray. The
internal drives are connected to the ServeRAID C100 controller as indicated in the above table.
Note: It is not a supported combination to have the Storage Native Expansion Tray with 7 drives along
with two 2.5-inch SAS drives installed in the nx360 M4. This is because the ServeRAID C100 (which
would be required to drive the two internal drives) does not support SAS drives. The use of 2.5-inch SATA
drives are supported however.
