01CMYH - Dell LSI 2008 SAS Mezzanine Card for C6150 / C6220 with Cables

Description

The Dell 01CMYH is a specialized SAS controller card designed to expand the storage connectivity options within compatible Dell systems. This mezzanine daughter card form factor indicates it is intended for integration into specific server or storage chassis, often occupying a dedicated slot for enhanced I/O capabilities. With a total of eight SAS ports, it significantly increases the number of drives or storage devices that can be connected to the system, making it suitable for configurations requiring extensive direct-attached storage. Each of the eight SAS ports on the 01CMYH card supports a data transfer rate of 3Gb/s. While this speed is lower than current generation SAS standards, it remains sufficient for many storage applications and ensures compatibility with a wide range of SAS drives and expanders. The card functions as a host bus adapter (HBA), managing the communication between the host system and the connected SAS devices, thereby enabling data storage and retrieval operations. This controller card is crucial for systems that need to support a large number of internal or external SAS drives, such as in storage servers, high-density compute nodes, or specific Dell storage arrays. Its role is to provide the necessary interface and bandwidth for these drives to operate effectively, contributing to the overall storage capacity and performance of the system. The Dell 01CMYH is a key component for expanding SAS connectivity in environments where multiple SAS devices need to be managed.
