Tips

To maximize performance, consider using all six drive bays with identical enterprise drives and configure RAID 6 or 60 for a balance of capacity and fault tolerance. The dual 10GbE SFP+ ports are perfect for link aggregation or separating storage traffic from management traffic. Since the server includes IPMI, you can perform remote reboots and monitor hardware health even when the OS is unresponsive.
