This preface contains the following topics:

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 search at:
