1 Overview

The Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS2AF040 and RMS2AF080 is a high­performance intelligent custom board-to-board PCI Express* 2.0 compliant SAS/SATA RAID module that offers reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management based on the Intel solution that meets the internal storage needs of workgroup, department, or enterprise systems to use cost-effective SATA or high performance SAS media.
®
SAS Hardware RAID Software Stack. This is a RAID
As a second generation PCI Express* storage controller, the Intel Module RMS2AF040 and RMS2AF080 addresses the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability requirements across entry level, midrange, and enterprise server platforms.
The controller can be connected to up to four drives (RMS2AF040) or eight drives (RMS2AF080) directly and allows the use of expanders to connect to additional drives. For more information about the use of expanders, see the ANSI SAS Standard, version 2.0 specification.
SATA and SAS are serial, point-to-point, device interfaces that use simplified cabling, smaller connectors, lower pin counts, and lower power requirements than parallel SCSI.

Benefits of SAS and SATA

SAS is a serial, point-to-point, enterprise-level device interface that leverages the proven SCSI protocol set. SAS is a convergence of the advantages of SATA, SCSI, and FC, and is the future mainstay of the enterprise and high-end workstation storage markets. SAS offers a higher bandwidth per pin than parallel SCSI and improves signal and data integrity.
The SAS interface uses the proven SCSI command set to ensure reliable data transfers, while providing the connectivity and flexibility of point-to-point serial data transfers. The serial transmission of SCSI commands eliminates clock skew challenges. The SAS interface provides improved performance, simplified cabling, smaller connectors, lower pin count, and lower power requirements than parallel SCSI.
®
Integrated RAID
SAS controllers leverage a common electrical and physical connection interface that is compatible with Serial ATA technology. The SAS and SATA protocols use a thin, 7-wire connector instead of the 68-wire SCSI cable or 40-wire ATA cable. The SAS/SATA connector and cable are easier to manipulate, connect to smaller devices, and do not inhibit airflow. The point-to-point SATA architecture eliminates difficulties created by the legacy ATA master-slave architecture, while maintaining compatibility with existing ATA firmware.

RAID Functionality and Features

Hierarchy

The fundamental purpose of a RAID system is to present a usable data storage medium (virtual drive) with some level of redundancy to a host operating system. The Intel® RAID firmware is based on the concept of associating physical drives in arrays and then creating a virtual drive from that array that includes a functional RAID level. To create a virtual drive and present it to the host operating system, the RAID firmware typically follows these steps:
1. One or more physical drives are selected and ass
2. One or more arrays are associated and given a RAID level. This process creates a virtual drive and
provides an option to initialize the virtual drive.

Safety Instructions
As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines:
Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers,
bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed.
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location.
To help avoid possible damage to the server board, wait five seconds after turning
off the system before removing a component from the server board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system's cables and that the cables are not
located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the
documentation that came with it.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block
cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.
When working inside your computer:
Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this
guide and elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also
disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal
injury or shock.
Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS2AF040 and RMS2AF080 Hardware User’s Guide 29
Additional safety guidelines:
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on
the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
Protecting against electrostatic discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. In addition to the preceding precautions, you can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads.

The power button on the system does not turn off system AC po w er. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.
The power cord(s) is considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power. The socket outlet that the system plugs into shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to access the inside of the system, follow these steps:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button.
3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall outlets.
4. Label and disconnect all cables connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of the system.
5. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the system-any unpainted metal surface-when handling components.
6. Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed.
After you have completed the six SAFETY steps above, you can remove the system covers. To do this:
1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system if a padlock has been installed.
2. Remove and save all screws from the covers.
3. Remove the cover(s).
For proper cooling and airflow, always reinstall the chassis covers before turning on the system. Operating the system without the covers in place can damage system parts. To install the covers:
1. Check first to make sure you have not left loose tools or parts inside the system.
2. Check that cables, add-in cards, and other components are properly installed.
3. Attach the covers to the chassis with the screws removed earlier, and tighten them firmly.
4. Insert and lock the padlock to the system to prevent unauthorized access inside the system.
5. Connect all external cables and the AC power cord(s) to the system.
