RAID Controller Notes

The SAS riser card is installed at PCIe slot 11, the SAS riser slot. The SAS riser card supports 12 SAS/SATA ports

when used in conjunction with the SAS Expander backplane.

The SAS riser board (LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i) supports the following features:

●

Form factor: PCIe Low Profile (H x L) = 2.72 x 6.60 inches

●

LSI SAS2108 (Liberator) ROC (RAID-On-a-Chip) Controller, at 800 MHz

●

PCIe x8 card edge, also compatible with x16 lane slots, 5-Gbps or 2.5-Gbps serial transfer rate

●

Two internal Mini SAS 4i connectors

●

Eight channels of SAS/SATA at up to 6 Gbps

◦ SAS rates of 6.0 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps

◦ SATA rates of 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps

●

Hardware RAID (levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60)

●

Supports drive hot-plugging

●

5-Chip DDR2 on-board memory running at 800 MHz (64-bit with error-correcting code (ECC) for enhanced

hardware RAID performance

●

512 MB on-board DDR2-800 cache arranged as 64Mx16 devices (1-Gb capacity)

●

iBBU support: direct connected iBBU07 RAID Battery Back-up module for DDR2 DIMM refresh support

during a power failure

●
