  Product model number e amounts of data with uninterrupted availability and reliability calls for a high-density point-to-point RAID storage solution. The MegaRAID SAS 84016E, the latest SAS/SATA offering from LSI, addresses any data availability concerns associated with deploying large number of drives in missioncritical environments. It allows system builders to direct-connect up to 16 SATA II and/or SAS drives. Also, by leveraging SAS expander technology, this adapter can support up to 122 physical devices for the most data-intensive environments. Designed for greater performance, the MegaRAID SAS 84016E uses two LSI SAS1068 controllers, a 500MHz Intel processor, 256MB DDRII memory and a PCI Express host interface. In addition to supporting all key RAID levels and a battery backup, LSI offers advanced data protection features such as Check Consistency, Patrol Read and background sentry services that find and correct bad media blocks on disk drives. Advanced RAID Management The MegaRAID Management Suite™ provides the essential software tools to efficiently manage MegaRAID products. Whether deployed in an enterprise or small business, LSI LSI 84016e offers a collection of applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility as well a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This new suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Even with high-stress enterprise deployments, the powerful MSM tools easily scale to efficiently configure, monitor and manage RAID volumes locally or over the LAN network. Management Indicators The MegaRAID SAS 84016E supports industry standard SGPIO, SES and also provides an option to directly drive sixteen LED fault and activity indicators. When disks do fail, these schemes provide visual assistance to quickly pin-point the faulty hardware. Remote iBBU Support The MegaRAID LSIiBBU01 is a battery backup module that protects the integrity of the cached data by providing power if there is a server failure or complete AC power failure. When power is restored, the data not yet written to the hard drives can be retrieved from cache memory. The LSIiBBU01 has added functionality to automatically charge the battery pack and communicate with the H   LSI 84016e	LSI00137
