Configure C220 M4 standalone server with Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller card

[andyblada1]

Hello,

I have new rack server c220 M4 SFF in my infra with 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller card. 

Need to configure it as standalone server (not integrated with UCSM).

I am looking for the configuration guide in which best practice/recommendations are there to config the server.

Like, how to config RAID 5 on 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller card??

Best setting for IMC 2.0 (Integrated Management Controller), power policies, fan policies , communication servers so on.

Thanks in advance.

Andy !!

Thank You for sharing the link Austin and sorry i was out of office, hence not able to reply.

Actually, i want to check remotely that 512 MB flash-based write cache (FBWC) is installed or not on my server c220 m4 ? From where i can check this.

Due to above i am not getting RAID 5 option to configure :( .

Do you have any doc or link to config of BIOS of 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller card. Rather best practices.

i am working on IMC 2.0 (10)
