Before You Read This Document
Familiarize yourself with computer hardware, data storage, RAID technology, and
the input/output (I/O) technology—SAS, or Serial ATA (SATA)—used by the HBA.
Also, familiarize yourself with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) or Network-Attached
Storage (NAS)—whichever is appropriate for your storage space—and Storage Area
Network (SAN) concepts and technology.
If you are using a SPARC system with the HBA and you need to install the Solaris
OS, read the Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Basic Installations (part number: 820-
5236-nn) prior to installing the HBA. You can find this document by performing a
