Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions.

Intel® Integrated Server RAID Requirements

Intel® Integrated Server RAID requires a DIMM in addition to the standard server board DIMMs or FBDIMMs. The Intel for this DIMM, and the SR1550ALSAS and SR2500LX provide a mini-DIMM socket. Only use memory DIMMs listed under the RAID module section of the Tested Memory List, available under the listing for your system at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server

A backup battery, the Intel prevent data loss in the RAM cache if AC power is lost. The backup battery maintains the data for up to 72 hours. The Smart Battery Backup Unit mounts to the RAID controller card.

Server System S7000FC4UR SAS riser includes a full-size DIMM socket

RAID Smart Battery Backup Unit (AXXRSBBU4), is available to

Installing the Intel® RAID Activation Key

Prepare the Server

1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this guide and in the documentation

for your server board and chassis.

2. If your server system is running, power off all peripheral devices attached to the server, power

down the server, and disconnect the AC power cord from the server.

3. Remove the chassis cover. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.

Install the Intel® RAID Activation Key

1. Remove the RAID Activation Key from its packaging.

2. See your server board or system documentation to locate the ROMB connection in your server.

It may be on a midplane board or on the SAS riser board in a specially keyed PCI Express* slot.

3. With the Intel name on the RAID Activation Key facing up, insert the RAID Activation Key

into the socket.

4. Make sure the Key is fully seated. The metal clips on the socket sit on the top edge of the Key.

Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSAS2 Install Guide

Install the RAID DIMM or Mini-DIMM

1. Open the clips on each side of the DIMM socket.

2. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.

3. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket.

4. Push the DIMM firmly into the socket. The clips will latch. Make sure the clips are firmly

latched.

Finish the Installation

1. (Optional) Follow the instructions included with the Intel RAID Smart Battery (AXXRSBBU4)

to install this accessory.

2. Reinstall any components inside of the server chassis that you needed to remove. See your

server board or chassis documentation for instructions.

3. Install the server chassis cover and connect the AC power supply.

Enable and Configure Hardware RAID

After you boot your system, update the firmware for the RAID function of the LSI* 1078 controller. The update package is available at http://support.intel.com firmware package to update the firmware and enable hardware RAID.

For RAID configuration instructions, see the RAID Software User’s Guide.
