ConguringtheLSIMegaRAIDSettings
This chapter provides instructions on how to congure MegaRAID settings for the
LSI 2108/2208 SAS controller. If you do not wish to congure LSI Software RAID
settings, skip this section and go directly to OS Installation. For OS installation
instructions, please refer to our web site at www.supermicro.com.
Note: To use the drives connected to the 2108/2208 controller, a RAID

created as a RAID 0 individually.
Note: For system stability, do not use both SAS and SATA drives in the
same array.
