The Internal Dual SD module (IDSDM) provides you with a redundant SD card solution. You can configure the IDSDM for storage or as the OS boot partition. The IDSDM card offers the following features:
•
Dual card operation — maintains a mirrored configuration by using SD cards in both the slots and provides redundancy.
* 
NOTE: When the Redundancy option is set to Mirror Mode in the Integrated Devices screen of System Setup, the information is replicated from one SD card to another.
•
Single card operation — single card operation is supported, but without redundancy.
