The BL680c G5 includes an integrated Smart Array P400i Controller. The P400i is an x8 PCI Express
serial attached SCSI (SAS) v1.0 embedded RAID controller and provides server performance and
reliability through its support of advanced SCSI technology and RAID capabilities. The P400i includes
256MB of 40-bit ECC protected cache and supports RAID levels 0 (striping) and 1 (mirroring).
The controller supports both SAS and SATA hard drives letting you deploy drive technology as needed to
fit your computing environment. The BL680c G5 provides two hot-plug drive bays for up to 1.0TB of SAS
and 500GB of SATA storage.
Providing high availability data cache retention, the Smart Array P400i supports two battery backed write
cache (BBWC) options:
BBWC for the existing 25MB cache.
Upgrade to 72-bit 512MB ECC protected cache with BBWC.
If additional direct or shared storage SAS or SATA drives are desired within the server blade enclosure,
the BL680c G5 supports the SB40c Storage Blade through use of the HP PCI Express Mezzanine Pass-
Thru Card installed in mezzanine slot 3. For additional information see the "Additional Options" section
