The RAID expansion module (REM), if ordered, might not arrive installed on the Sun Blade X3-2B. In some cases, this option is shipped separately for customer installation. The REM enables the RAID functionality for SAS drives.

Refer to Configuring RAID in Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Administration Guide for additional information.
