The SKU:E91267-203 is apart number for an assembly or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) code for the Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240.
A SAS Expander Card is used in server environments to significantly increase the number of hard drives you can connect to a single RAID Controller.
- ::A typical RAID controller might have 4 or 8 physical ports.
- ::By connecting one of those ports to the expander card, the E91267-203 can fan out that single connection to handle up to 24 additional drives.
-
This is essential for high-density storage configurations, often found in large server chassis or external disk enclosures.
While it's an Intel part, these components are frequently used within Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage systems to increase the number of accessible hard drives.
This model number RES2SV240 for the Intel RAID Expander Card follows a specific naming convention that helps identify its function and key features.
