You can replace the IBM ServeRAID-BR10iSAS/SATA adapter with the optional IBM ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA adapter inthe slot. The ServeRAID-BR10i adapter comes installed on standard models ofthe server and supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E. The optionalServeRAID-MR10i adapter can be purchased and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5,6, 10, 50, and 60. For configuration information, see the ServeRAIDdocumentation at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/,To ensure that any of your ServeRAID 10i, 10is, or 10M adapters functionproperly on UEFI-based servers, make sure that the adapter firmware level isupdated to at least 11.x.x-XXX , and the supporting drivers.Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinatedcode updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest levelof code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.v Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for anyadd-on video adapter that you install in the server.v Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on videoadapter is not supportedv The server does not support full-length adapters.64 IBM System x3550 M2 Types 4198 and 7946: Installation and User’s Guide
