12Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID Controllers User Guide
February 2015
Chapter 1: Overview
Summary of 12Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID Controller Characteristics
1.5.1 PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express® (PCIe) is a local bus system designed to increase data transfers without slowing down the central
processing unit (CPU). You can install MegaRAID PCIe RAID controllers in PCIe computer systems with a standard
bracket type. With these controllers in your system, you can connect SAS devices and SATA devices over the bus.
NOTE Some PCIe slots support only PCIe graphics cards. RAID controllers
installed in these PCIe slots do not function.
PCIe goes beyond the PCI specification in that it is intended as a unifying I/O architecture for various systems:
desktops, workstations, mobile devices, servers, communications, and embedded devices.
1.5.2 Operating System Support
The 12Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controllers support the following operating systems:
Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 (64-bit only), Windows 2003 R2 SP2, Windows Vista® SP2, Windows 7 Client SP1,
Windows 8, Windows 2008 SP2, Windows 2008 R2 SP1, and Window Server® 2012
Red Hat® Linux®
SuSE® SLES
Ubuntu® Linux
VMware®
Solaris®
FreeBSD®
XenServer®
Oracle® Enterprise Linux (OEL)
Refer to the MegaRAID SAS Device Driver Installation User Guide for more information about the drivers. To download
the latest operating system drivers, go to http://www.lsi.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do.
The 12Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controllers use Fusion-MPT architecture for all major operating systems, which
results in thinner drivers and better performance.
