  No, the main difference between integrated and adapter is the firmware. They are designed to work in the specified slot type. The integrated storage slot is a PCIe slot, but it does not work the same as a normal PCIe slot.
I asked this question on serverfault.com but so far haven't got a definitive answer. We have just brought a refurbished dell R610 2 X 6 Core X5650, 96G Ram, SAS 6ir Raid Controller, 2 X Fujitsu MBC2073RC 2.5-Inch 15K 73GB SAS Hard Drive. We are going to also be installing additional drives: I also separately brought a refurbished H700 Raid controller to use rather than the SAS 6ir card. It is the integrated H700 and looks like this:[IMAGE]How do I install this? I have read several of the manuals looking for explicit instructions (Page 111 of the R610 owners manual is not totally clear to me...) Eg should I unscrew the metal pci slot cover on the left hand side of this card and then directly replace the "integrated" SAS6ir card? Or should this card go in a separate pcie slot? (I am not sure the cables will reach and I am not sure about cable management) Does anyone have any pictures of an installed H700 and the PERC battery installed in a R610? Thanks!    Jason
