Page 18
Feature Summary Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2
Figure 5: Vitesse* VSC410 Block Diagram
A PLL is used to generate the internal core clock of 40.0MHz from an external 4.0MHz clock
source or crystal. Additional external component are limited to a single SPI Flash memory
device and Two-Wire Serial peripherals dedicated to system management functions.
1.6 SAS Expander
The PMC-Sierra* PM8388 SXP 24×3G device is a 24-port SAS Expander device featuring low
latency connection arbitration, table routing, arbitrary SAS wide ports, SAS SSP/STP targets,
integrated RISC processor for SAS SMP functions and SES support.
All target ports support spin-up control and the STP bridge function allowing either a SAS or
SATA target device to be attached. The PM8388 device supports table routing of up to 1024
entries, direct routing and subtractive routing methods. The non-blocking crossbar in the data
path allows any-port to any-port connections including arbitrary wide port configurations.
The PM8388 device provides in-band access to the Expander internal state information via
proprietary commands within the integrated SMP function. The PM8388 device provides three
multi-master TWI interfaces with independent reset for device configuration or control of
peripheral devices. One UART interface is provided for debugging support.

Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2 Feature Summary
Figure 6: PMC* PM8388 Block Diagram
1.6.1 Embedded Processor
The embedded RISC Processor is a MIPS Technologies* MIPS4K with an EJTAG debugging
interface.
It supports the SMP protocol and SES and is connected as a virtual port with the device base
SAS address. SMP commands are uploaded from Flash memory.
1.6.2 Memory Interface & Device Initialization
The PM8388 device has a 16-bit wide asynchronous memory interface. It is able to address 4
banks of Flash or SRAM of 2 Mbytes each. The memory banks can be 8-bit or 16-bit wide.
The Flash Memory Interface provides a way to configure device features during the reset
sequence. After system reset the processor loads an 8-Kbyte initialization string.
This initialization string contains information such as the SAS base address of the PM8388
device, identification of a subtractive port, per port configuration of the transmitter pre-emphasis
level, per port configuration of receiver equalization level, per port configuration of the transmit
swing, HDD spin-up delay values, HDD spin-up delay interval values, GPIO control and
manufacturer specific information.
Revision 1.2 11
Page 20
Feature Summary Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2
Optionally, the initialization string can point to an external EEPROM. This EEPROM is used to
store initialization parameters that are card-specific, like the SAS Base address. Once read, the
parameters from the EEPROM will replace those from Flash memory.
Expander Port Configuration
The PM8388 supports 24 ports. 12 of those ports are connected to disk drives with a fixed portdrive slot mapping. Four ports are used for host connection to a SAS HBA in the server sub
system. Four other ports are reserved for expansion purpose and are routed to a dedicated
SAS-4i connector on the expander card. The remaining four ports are not used and must be
disabled.

1.10 Rack and Cabinet Mounting Options
The chassis was designed to support cabinets that are 19 in (483 mm) wide by up to 36 in (914
mm) deep, and are compliant to the SSI Server Rack specification and EIA 310-D. A set of
Rack Mounting Rails are provided and will accommodate either square or round hole rack
mounting methods.
When mounting the system into a cabinet, the front mount brackets are attached to the front of
the chassis, and a set of rear support brackets are attached to the back of the cabinet. This
allows the weight of the system to be as evenly distributed as possible.

The power supply module provides a single external bi-color LED to indicate the status of the
power supply. When AC is applied to the Power Supply Unit (PSU) and standby voltages are
available, the LED will blink green. The LED will be solid on green to indicate that all the power
outputs are available. The LED will be solid on amber to indicate that the power supply has
failed, shutdown due to over current, shutdown due to over temperature, or is indicating a
predictive failure. Refer to the following table for conditions of the LED.

Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2 System Cooling Module
3. System Cooling Module
The Storage System SSR212MC2 includes ten individual fans that collectively make up the
cooling module. Each fan can be removed (Hot Swapped) individually for ease of maintenance.
The Power Supply Module contains two fans for cooling.
3.1 Fan Control
Each fan within the module is capable of supporting multiple speeds. At normal room ambient of
23 degrees Celsius (C), the fans will run at slow speed for best acoustic performance. If the
external temperature of the system increases, the backplane fan control circuitry will increase
fan speed to compensate for the increased ambient.

4. Chassis Bays
The Storage System SSR212MC2 chassis provides twelve hard drive bays at the front of the
chassis. All hard drive bays may be populated with a carrier-mounted 3.5 inch SATA or SAS
hard disk drive.

4.1 Hard Disk Drive Bays
The Storage System SSR212MC2 chassis can support up to twelve carrier-mounted SATA or
SAS, 3.5 inch x 1 inch, hard disk drives. The drives may be “electrically” hot-swapped while the
system power is applied, but caution should be taken before hot-swapping while the system is
functioning under OS/Application control (i.e., your OS/Application must support hot-swap), or
data may be lost.
NOTE:
All drive bays (1 thru 12) are controlled by the single Intel® RAID Controller SRCSAS144E

2) If a failed drive needs replacing, it should be replaced with the exact same manufacturer, model,
and capacity.

4.1.1 Hard Disk Drive Carrier
Each hard drive used in the system must be mounted to a drive carrier, making insertion and
extraction of the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own dual purpose
latching mechanism that is used to both insert/extract drives from the chassis and lock the
carrier in place, and also has a safety locking mechanism to aid in the prevention of accidental
removal of a drive. After the drive is inserted and latched, the locking feature is enabled by
rotating the locking mechanism using the provided Torx* or “star” bit tool, such that the latch can
not be depressed to remove the drive. To remove the drive, turn the locking mechanism until the
latch can be depressed to remove the drive. Each drive carrier also supports a light pipe
providing a drive status indicator, located on the backplane, to be viewable from the front of the
chassis.
