This article will introduce the Drive Configuration and the Internal Cabling of 1288H V5.
Drive Configuration
| Configuration | Maximum Front Hard Disks | Drive Management Mode |
| 4 x 3.5″ drive configuration | Front drive: 4 x 3.5″ Slots 0 to 3 support only SAS/SATA drives. |
1 x RAID controller card/PCHa Screw-in RAID controller card: installed in the RAID controller card connector on the mainboard. PCIe RAID controller card: must be installed in slot 1. |
| 8 x 2.5″ drive configuration | Front drive: 8 x 2.5″ Slots 0 to 7 support only SAS/SATA drives. |
1 x RAID controller card/PCHa
Screw-in RAID controller card: installed in the RAID controller card connector on the mainboard. |
| 10 x 2.5″ drive configuration 1 | Front drive: 10 x 2.5″ Slots 0 and 1 support only SAS/SATA drives. Slots 2 and 3 support SAS/SATA/NVMe drives. Slots 4 to 9 support only NVMe drives. |
1 x RAID controller card/PCHa
Screw-in RAID controller card: installed in the RAID controller card connector on the mainboard. |
| 10 x 2.5″ drive configuration 2 | Front drive: 10 x 2.5″ Slots 0 to 9 support only SAS/SATA drives. |
1 x RAID controller cardb
PCIe RAID controller card: must be installed in slot 1. |
| 10 x 2.5″ drive configuration 3 | Front drive: 10 x 2.5 Slots 0 to 5 support only SAS/SATA drives. Slots 6 and 7 support SAS/SATA/NVMe drives. Slots 8 and 9 support only NVMe drives. |
1 x RAID controller card/PCHa
Screw-in RAID controller card: installed in the RAID controller card connector on the mainboard. |
Note:
a: A RAID controller card or PCH can be used to manage common drives. The PCH supports only SATA drives.
b: The drives can be managed only by the Avago SAS3516 RAID controller card.
