RAID Controller Fujitsu S26361-F5243-L611 with 25/55/70 cm cable options

Fujitsu RAID controller S26361-F5243-L611 is a hardware RAID interface designed for server storage management. The controller enables creation and management of RAID arrays to provide data protection and optimized performance. It is supplied with selectable cable length options of 25 cm, 55 cm or 70 cm to accommodate different drive bay layouts and rack configurations. The device is intended for use in Fujitsu systems and compatible server platforms where a dedicated RAID controller is required to centralize storage and simplify administration.

Advantages

The RAID controller provides a hardware-based solution for RAID functionality, reducing CPU overhead compared with software RAID. Multiple cable length options allow flexible installation in varied chassis designs and improve cable routing. By enabling RAID arrays, the controller supports improved redundancy and potential throughput gains depending on RAID level and attached drives. The compact unit has a low weight, which simplifies handling and installation in server environments.

Suitable for

• Server storage consolidation and centralization
• Environments requiring hardware RAID for redundancy and performance
• Racks or chassis with varying drive placement where different cable lengths are needed
• Fujitsu server systems and compatible enterprise servers

Key specifications

• Form factor: hardware RAID controller card
• Cable options: 25 cm, 55 cm, 70 cm lengths supplied
• Primary function: RAID array creation and management for attached drives
• Intended use: server storage interface for centralized drive connectivity
• Weight: 0.113 kg

How to use

Install the RAID controller into a compatible server expansion slot following the server manufacturer’s hardware installation procedures. Choose the appropriate supplied cable length (25 cm, 55 cm or 70 cm) to match the drive bay layout and connect the controller to the target drives or backplane. Power on the server and access the RAID controller’s firmware or management utility to configure RAID levels, create arrays and initialize drives. Follow standard procedures for initializing, verifying and monitoring the configured arrays to ensure data integrity and performance.

Recommendations

Select the cable length that provides secure, untwisted routing with adequate clearance to avoid strain on connectors. Configure RAID levels based on the desired balance of redundancy and performance, and ensure firmware and management utilities are up to date. Perform regular backups and array health checks as part of routine server maintenance.
