Lenovo ThinkSystem 930-24i 4GB Flash 12GB PCIe x8 RAID Adapter FRU P/N: 01KN509

Here is the complete English introduction and specification overview for the Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-24i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter.

Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-24i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter

The Lenovo Option Part Number 7Y37A01086 (FRU Part Number: 01KN509 / Feature Code: AUNC) designates the Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-24i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter. Powered by a high-performance Broadcom SAS3516 dual-core RAID-on-Chip (RoC) processor, this enterprise-grade storage controller is designed to provide massive internal drive expansion for dense Lenovo ThinkSystem server architectures.

Featuring 24 native internal ports, this card completely eliminates the need for an intermediate SAS expander card in configurations with up to 24 drives. Equipped with 4GB of integrated DDR4 cache, it delivers the ultra-high I/O processing power and robust data protection required for demanding enterprise applications, large-scale virtualization arrays, and high-density storage environments.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Exceptional Internal Port Density: Provides 24 native internal SAS/SATA ports via six mini-SAS HD connectors (SFF-8643), allowing direct, full-bandwidth connection to up to 24 internal drives.

• Broadcom SAS3516 Dual-Core RoC: Offloads intensive array management, XOR operations, and parity calculations completely from the host processor, preserving system CPU cycles for mission-critical apps.

• 4GB Cache with Flash-Backed Protection: Features a large 4GB DDR4-2133 memory cache to dramatically accelerate transactional read and write latency. In a power failure, the included supercapacitor-powered module flushes cached data into non-volatile flash memory to prevent data corruption.

• Comprehensive Hardware RAID Architecture: Supports robust hardware-driven fault tolerance and striping performance across a complete array matrix: RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, alongside non-RAID JBOD pass-through.

• Advanced Storage Optimizations: Features MegaRAID FastPath for maximum random IOPS on SSD tiers, SafeStore software for secure self-encrypting drive (SED) management, Online Capacity Expansion (OCE), and Online RAID Level Migration (RLM).

• System Management Integration: Fully integrated into Lenovo’s XClarity Controller (XCC) ecosystem for seamless remote monitoring, real-time inventory tracking, array configuration, and automated firmware updates.
