Re: 5737 Raid card

 wrote on Mon, 23 Oct 2006 18:28:34 GMT:


We got a Raid card in.  Box says it is a 5737.  Little sticker
on it says 571B.  I've been told by the CE's here that it
requires an IOP.

So, do I need an IOP with this card, or, if I fire it up
without an IOP will it then determine it is an IOPless raid
card and give itself a different feature number?



When you plug in the card, it will report in as a 571B (that's 
what the little sticker represents).  Firmware level, LIC level, 
OS level, and processor type determine whether you can operate it 
IOP-less.  

The label on the box says the card was ordered as an IOP-required 
card.  Probably because the tool that helps with placing the 
order believes you do not have one of the prereqs needed to 
operate without an IOP.
