1 Overview
The Intel® Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR (also known as Intel® Integrated
RAID Controller SROMBSASMR) is a high-performance intelligent custom board-toboard PCI Express* SAS/SATA RAID module that offers reliability, high performance,
and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. This is a RAID solution that meets the
internal storage needs of workgroup, department, or enterprise systems to use costeffective SATA or high performance SAS media.
As a third generation PCI Express* storage controller, the Intel
SROMBSASMR addresses the 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 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 1.0 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.

Integrated RAID Module
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.
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.

Console 2, CIM, and LEDs.
®
RAID Web
• Multiple cache options allow configuration-specific performance optimization:
— Write-back: Faster because it does not wait for the disk but data will be lost if
power is lost.
— Write-through: Usually slower but ensures data is on the disk.
— Read Ahead: Predicts next read will be sequential and buffers this data into the
cache.
— Non Read Ahead: Always reads from the drive after determining exact location
of each read.
— Adaptive Read Ahead: Reads ahead and caches data only if doing sequential
reads.
— I/O setting. Determines whether read operations check the cache before reading
from disks.
✧ Cache I/O: Checks cache first, only reads disk if data is not in the cache.
✧ Direct I/O: Reads data directly from disk. (not cache)

Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive
Migration Install
Drive Roaming
Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same
controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID
configuration from the configuration data on the drives.
Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not
resume.
To use drive roaming, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components.
Remove the power cord(s).
2. Remove the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
3. Move the drives to different positions on the backplane to change the targets. See
your server documentation for instructions to install and remove drives.
4. Determine the target requirements.
5. Make sure the drives are inserted properly.
6. Install the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
7. Plug in and power on the system.
The controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives
(COD).
Intel® Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR Hardware User’s Guide 17
Drive Migration
Drive migration moves a configured set of hard drives from one controller to another. The
drives must remain on the same port and be reinstalled in the same order as in the original
configuration. The controller to which you migrate the drives cannot have an existing
configuration.
Note: Only complete configurations can be migrated; individual virtual disks cannot be
migrated. Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at the same time.
To migrate drives, follow these steps:
1. Clear the configuration on the system to which you migrate the drives.
This prevents a configuration data mismatch between the hard drives and the
NVRAM.
2. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components.
Remove the power cord(s).
3. Remove the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
4. Disconnect the cables from the drives to be migrated.
5. Remove the hard drives from the first system and install them into the second
system. For instructions to install and remove drives, see your server
documentation.
6. Connect the data cables to the hard drives in the second system in the same order as
they were connected in the first system. Make sure all the cables meet
specifications.
7. Determine the drive target requirements.
8. Make sure all cables are properly attached and the RAID module is properly
installed.
9. Install the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
10. Plug in and power on the system.
When you start the system, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the
configuration data on the drives.

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 SROMBSASMR Hardware User’s Guide 19
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.
