When connecting the storage enclosure to a Dell PowerEdge server, the server must have a supported SAS HBA installed. See the Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Support Matrix for information about supported SAS HBAs. If the host is connected to the storage enclosure by using multiple paths (two or more SAS connections), the host must have multipath configured. For more information about multipath configuration, see the documentation related to the server operating system.
The Dell storage products are compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems. For more information about the supported operating systems, see the support matrix for your product at Dell support.
