Product Overview
• 12.0 Gb/s SAS III performance
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS3CC080/RMS3CC040, which is based on the LSISAS3008 I/O controller, uses a 16-MB Flash
memory device for storing the BIOS and firmware.
This 12Gb/s Intel® RAID Module is based on the LSI first-to-market SAS IC technology and proven MegaRAID technology. As
third-generation PCIe RAID modules, these modules address the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability
requirements across midrange and enterprise-class server platforms. These RAID modules provide these features:
• 6.0 Gb/s SATA III performance
• Eight-lane 8 GT/s PCIe host interface
SAS technology brings a wealth of options and flexibility with the use of SAS devices and SATA devices within the same storage
infrastructure. However, SAS devices and SATA devices bring individual characteristics that make each one a more suitable
choice depending on your storage needs. MegaRAID products give you the flexibility to combine these two similar technologies
on the same module, within the same enclosure, and in the same virtual drive.
NOTE: These RAID modules support SATA II and SATA III technologies.
For more information, including the technical specifications for your RAID module, refer to the 12Gb/s Intel
®
RAID Controllers
User Guide on the Intel website http://www.intel.com/support.
NOTE: Record your RAID module serial number in a safe location in case you need to contact Intel.
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS3CC080/RMS3CC040 is a PCI-Express* (PCIe*) 3.0 RAID adapter whose PCIe* connector is a
custom 80-pin connector capable of performance up to 8GT/s per lane. The Intel® RAID Module RMS3CC080/RMS3CC040 is
based on the LSISAS3108 ROC controller, and uses 1GB of DDR3 1866MHz memory as cache. The Intel® RAID Module
RMS3CC080 controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connectors. The Intel®
RAID Module RMS3CC040 controls four internal SAS/SATA ports through one SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connector.
The Intel
®
RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit 5 (RMFBU5) is an Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) flash module that provides
cache off-load capability to protect cached data in case of host power loss or server failure. The RMFBU5 module connects to a
Super Capacitor Pack module, which provides power for the backup of the cache data in the Intel® RAID module
RMSCC080/RMSCC040. The RMFBU5 module attaches directly to the Intel® RAID module RMSCC080/RMSCC040, and then it
connects by cable to a Super Capacitor Pack module that is attached to an Intel® Server Chassis.

Install the RAID Module and
RMFBU5
A
(Optional) Hold the RMFBU5 module so that the front side faces
upward, and align the J2 connector on the RMFBU5 with the
connector JT3 on the RAID module.
B
Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the RAID module is
properly seated in the connectors, and then insert the four pin
standoffs into the barrel standoffs respectively.

General Installation Process
1
Unpack the RAID Module
Unpack the RAID module in a static-free environment. Remove the
module from the antistatic bag, and inspect it for damage. A low-profile
bracket is included with the RAID module. If the RAID module appears
to be damaged or the low-profile bracket is missing, contact Intel or
your reseller support representative.
CAUTION: It is good practice to back up your data before
adding hardware, such as a RAID module, to your system.
The latest versions of the documentation, drivers, and firmware are
available on the Intel website at http://www.intel.com/support. See
Reference Documents for more information.
The website contains utility programs, device drivers for various
operating systems, and related documentation.
2
Prepare the Host Computer
CAUTION: Before you install the RAID module,
make sure that the host computer is disconnected
from the power and from any networks.
Turn off the host computer, and unplug the power cords
from the rear of the power supply. Remove the cover from
the host computer.
3
Install the Barrel Standoff
A
Power down the system and disconnect the power cord.
B
Locate the matching SAS Module connector on your server board.
See your server board documentation.
C
Insert the barrel standoffs into the matching holes in the server
board. The Intel
®
Server Board S2600GZ is shown for illustrative
purpose.

General Installation Process
6
Configure and Install the
SAS/SATA Devices
Configure and install the SAS devices, SATA devices, or
both in the host computer case.
Refer to the documentation for the devices for any
preinstallation configuration requirements.
7
Connect the RAID Module to
the SAS/SATA Devices
NOTE: Both non-expander backplanes (one cable per drive)
and expander backplanes (one or two total cables) are
supported. Drive power cables (not shown) are required.
A
Connect the wide end of the provided cable to the up SFF-8643
connector (ports 0-3).
B
Push the cable into the SFF-8643 connector until it makes a slight
click.
C
If using more than four drives, connect the wide end of the second
cable to the down SFF-8643 connector (ports 4-7).
D
Connect the other ends of the cables to SATA drives or to the ports
on a SATA or SAS backplane.

(Optional) Connect the RMFBU5
to the Remote Super Capacitor
Pack Module
A
Connect the SuperCap cable with the remote Super Capacitor Pack
module. Align the cable connectors to make sure that they are
connected correctly.
B
Insert the other 9-pin connector of the SuperCap cable to RMFBU5
connector J1.
C
Mount the remote Super Capacitor Pack module to the server
chassis. Refer to the related server service guide for details.

Power up the System
Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the power cords. Turn on
the power to the host computer. Make sure that the power is turned on
to the SAS devices and the SATA III devices before or at the same time
that the power to the host computer is turned on. If the power is
turned on to the host computer before it is turned on to the devices,
the host computer might not recognize the devices.
The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time, the
RAID module scans the ports.
9
Run the Intel® RAID BIOS
Configuration Utility
Run the Intel® RAID BIOS Configuration Utility to
configure the groups and the virtual drives. When the
message about the configuration utility appears on the
screen, immediately press Ctrl+C to run the utility.
NOTE: Refer to the Intel® RAID Software User
Guide for detailed steps on configuring drive
groups and virtual drives.
