SAS and SATA Removable Media devices, such as tape drives and CD-ROM drives, have not been tested on Intel® add-on RAID Controller, Intel® Integrated RAID, and Intel® Embedded RAID. If you want to use these devices as pass through devices on a product that is in RAID mode, you should perform your own tests to verify that they work as designed.
For the information on which removable media devices have been validated on the Intel® Server Board used in your configuration, refer to the Tested Hardware and Operating System List of the appropriate Intel® Server Board.
