Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1000 Systems Support
Matrix
This document provides information on supported software and hardware for Dell PowerVault MD1000
Systems.
The PowerVault MD1000 supported software and hardware are directly tied to the RAID controller to which it is
attached. If a PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E is supported in a server, then the PowerVault MD1000 is supported on
that server.
NOTE: For the latest driver and firmware releases, see the Downloads section at support.dell.com.

The PERC 6/E adapter can detect and use redundant paths to drives contained in an MD1000 enclosure. With
redundant paths, if one path fails, another path can be used to communicate between the controller and the
hard drive.
NOTE: Redundant Path connectivity is not supported on PERC 5/E
