Install the SiI 4726 hardware
In order to run the SiI 4726 Manager, first install the Silicon Image SV-HBA3124 host controller (card and
driver) or another SATA host controller with port multiplier (PM) support. The host controller provides a
software and hardware link between the host computer and the SiI 4726 Storage Appliance.
The SV-HBA3124 board uses the SiI3124-2 SATA II controller with port multiplier support. You can use the
SiI 4726 Storage Appliance with any SATA host controller with port multiplier support. In addition to the
SV-HBA3124 host card, the following Silicon Image controllers provide port multiplier support:
• SiI3124-2
• SiI3124-4
• SiI3132
