1 Overview
The Intel® RAID Controller RS2WG160 is a high port-count, 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 internal 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
RS2WG160 addresses the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability
requirements across entry level, midrange, and enterprise server platforms.
The controller controls 16 internal SAS/SATA ports through four SFF-8087 Mini SAS x4
internal connectors. 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.

• 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).
• 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.

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.
Intel® RAID Controller RS2WG160 Hardware User’s Guide 15
The drive failure tones repeat until the problem is corrected, or until the alarm is silenced
Internal connector
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.
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 RS2WG160 contains the following LEDs:
• One surface-mounted heartbeat LED (Green Color) to indicate SAS2108 activity.
• Another surface-mounted system error LED (Amber Color) to indicate a board
error.

expander-based backplanes and out-of-band to direct-connect backplanes. These RAID
Controllers also support the internal SAS sideband signal SFF-8485 (SGPIO) enclosure
management interface.
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
®
26 Intel® RAID Controller RS2WG160 Hardware User’s Guide
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 selec
2. One or more arrays are associated and given
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® RAID Controller RS2WG160 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.

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.

L'interruttore attivato/disattivato nel pannello anteriore non
interrompe l'alimentazione in c.a. del sistema. Per interromperla, è
necessario scollegare tutti i cavi di alimentazione in c.a. dalle prese
a muro o dall'alimentazione di corrente.
Il cavo è considerato il dispositivo d'interruzione dell'alimentazione
principale (in c.a.). La presa alla quale si collega il sistema deve
essere installata vicino all'unità e deve essere facilmente
accessibile.
