1 Overview
The Intel® RAID Controller RS25NB008 is a high-performance intelligent PCI Express*
2.0 compliant SAS/SATA RAID controller that offers reliability, high performance, and
fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. This is a RAID solution that meets the external
storage needs of workgroup, department, or enterprise systems to use with cost-effective
SATA or high performance SAS media.
As a second generation PCI Express* storage controller, the Intel
RS25NB008 addresses the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability
requirements across entry level, midrange, and enterprise server platforms.
The controller controls 8 external 6-Gb/s SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8088 Mini
SAS x4 connectors and allows the use of expanders to connect up to 240 devices. 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, 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.
Intel® RAID Controller RS25NB008 Hardware User’s Guide 1

controller baseboard as the RAID cache.
• Small, thin cabling with serial point-to-point 6.0 Gbps data transfer rates.
• Support for non-disk devices and mixed capacity drives.
• Support for intelligent XOR RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
• Dedicated or global hot spare with auto rebuild if an array drive fails.
• User defined stripe size per drive: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024 KB.
• Advanced array configuration and management utilities provide:
— Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) adds space to existing drive or new drive.
Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Install for limitations on
See
OCE and RAID migration.
— Online RAID level migration (upgrade of RAID mode may require OCE)
— Drive migration
— Drive roaming
— No reboot necessary after expansion
— Load Balancing
• Upgradeable Flash ROM interface.
• Allows for staggered spin-up, hot-plug, and lower power consumption.
• User specified rebuild rate (percent of system resources to use from 0-100%).
Caution: Exceeding 50% rate may cause operating system errors due to waiting for
controller access.
• Background operating mode can be set for Rebuilds, Consistency Checks,
Initialization (auto restarting Consistency Check on redundant volumes), Migration,
OCE, and Patrol Read.
Redundancy and Error Handling
• In-band SES2.
• Enclosure management support.
• Drive coercion (auto-resizing to match existing disks).
• Auto-detection of failed drives with transparent rebuild. There must be disk activity
(I/O to the drive) for a missing drive to be marked as failed.
• Auto-resume of initialization or rebuild on reboot (the Auto Rebuild feature must be
enabled before virtual disk creation).
Intel® RAID Controller RS25NB008 Hardware User’s Guide 3
• Smart initialization automatically checks consistency of virtual disks if there are five
or more disks in a RAID 5 array, which optimizes performance by enabling readmodify-write mode. RAID 5 arrays of only three or four drives use Peer Read mode.
• Smart Technology predicts failures of drives and electronic components.
• Patrol Read checks drives and maps bad sectors.
• Commands are retried at least four times.
• Firmware provides best effort to recognize an error and recover if possible.
• Failures are logged from controller and drive firmware, and SMART monitor.
• Failures are logged in NVRAM, viewable from OS Event Log, Intel
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)
• Redundancy through:
— Configuration stored in non-volatile RAM and on the drives (COD).
— Hot-swap support.
— Optional battery backup for cache memory.

Diagnostic Components
Audible Alarm
The audible alarm beeps when a drive fails and also during a rebuild. The drive failure
alarm beeps are:
• Degraded array: Short tone, one second on, one second off.
• Failed array: Long tone, three seconds on, one second off.
• Hot spare commissioned: Short tone, one second on, three seconds off.
The drive failure tones repeat until the problem is corrected, or until the alarm is silenced
or disabled. The alarm can be silenced or disabled on the controller’s properties page in
the BIOS Console or by using the failed drive options pane in the Intel
Console 2.
Silencing the alarm is temporary. If the cause of failure still exists or if an additional
failure is detected, then the alarm sounds again when the system is rebooted. Disabling the
alarm is persistent across errors and reboots. When the alarm is disabled, a failure does not
cause it to sound until it is re-enabled.
®
RAID Web
Intel® RAID Controller RS25NB008 Hardware User’s Guide 15
The rebuild alarm tone functions differently. It remains ON during the rebuild. After the
rebuild completes, an alarm with a different tone sounds to signal that the rebuild is
complete. This is a one-time, non-repeating tone.
LED Placement and Function
The Intel® RAID Controller RS25NB008 contains the following LEDs:
• One surface-mounted heartbeat LED (Green Color) to indicate SAS2208 activity.
• Another surface-mounted system error LED (Amber Color) to indicate a

to expander-based backplanes.
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 associated as an array.
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.
3. The RAID firmware presents the virtual drive to the operating system.

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® RAID Controller RS25NB008 Hardware User’s Guide 29
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 controller 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.

Appendix B: Installation/Assembly
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® RAID Controller RS25NB008 Hardware User’s Guide 31
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.

5. Qualora si tocchino i componenti, proteggersi dallo scarico
elettrostatico (SES), portando un cinghia anti-statica da polso
che è attaccata alla presa a terra del telaio del sistema qualsiasi superficie non dipinta - .
6. Non far operare il sistema quando il telaio è senza le
coperture.
Dopo aver seguito i sei passi di SICUREZZA sopracitati, togliere le
coperture del telaio del sistema come seque:
1. Aprire e rimuovere il lucchetto dal retro del sistema qualora ve
ne fosse uno installato.
2. Togliere e mettere in un posto sicuro tutte le viti delle
coperture.
3. Togliere le coperture.
Per il giusto flusso dell'aria e raffreddamento del sistema, rimettere
sempre le coperture del telaio prima di riaccendere il sistema.
Operare il sistema senza le coperture al loro proprio posto potrebbe
danneggiare i componenti del sistema. Per rimettere le coperture del
telaio:
1. Controllare prima che non si siano lasciati degli attrezzi o dei
componenti dentro il sistema.
2. Controllare che i cavi, dei supporti aggiuntivi ed altri
componenti siano stati installati appropriatamente.
3. Attaccare le coperture al telaio con le viti tolte in precedenza e
avvitarle strettamente.
4. Inserire e chiudere a chiave il lucchetto sul retro del sistema
per impedire l'accesso non autorizzato al sistema.
5. Ricollegare tutti i cavi esterni e le prolunghe AC del sistema.
Se il sistema è stato a lungo in funzione, il microprocessore e il
dissipatore di calore potrebbero essere surriscaldati. Fare
attenzione alla presenza di piedini appuntiti e parti taglienti sulle
schede e sul telaio. È consigliabile l'uso di guanti di protezione.
