Description

Lenovo 7Y37A01087 External RAID Adapter

Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-8e 7Y37A01087 is an external RAID adapter designed to connect servers and storage enclosures to SAS and SATA drives. It utilizes the LSI SAS3508 controller chip, offering 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and 4GB of onboard cache with CacheVault flash protection. This adapter is ideal for deployments requiring high-performance, scalable storage expansion for direct-attached storage (DAS) solutions.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed for use with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and storage enclosures that provide a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. It supports SAS, SATA, HDD, SED, and SSD drives, enabling flexible storage configurations. The adapter supports a maximum of 240 devices in Profile 12 configurations and 64 devices in Profile 10 configurations. Specific operating system support includes Microsoft Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and later versions, as detailed in the technical specifications.

Installation Notes

The adapter requires a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for installation. It features two Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644 external connectors, each supporting 4 lanes of 12 Gbps SAS, totaling 8 lanes. Hot-swap drive support is enabled, allowing drives to be added or removed without system downtime, provided the host system and enclosure also support hot-swapping.
