The SD Media Adaptor for System x provides dual SD media slots for removable SD media, as an option for select System x servers. Customers partition the SD media into one or more logical drives, individually configured as RAID-1 or non-RAID, for use in such applications as bootable hypervisors, fixpack delivery, local tools, log gathering, and whatever else a customer might need. Up to 16 non-RAID, 8 RAID-1, or a mix of the two types of drives can be created. Drives are configured through interfaces provided by the Integrated Management Module II, which are accessible regardless of the system power state. Once the drives are made available to the system, service will not be interrupted during events such as a reboot of the Integrated Management Module II, making this adapter an ideal vehicle for hypervisors. The Integrated Management Module II supports out-of-band status for the adapter, media, and logical drives, including logs and alerts. Warranty: One year. Barcode: 0883436612227
