1 About Intel® RAID Activation Keys Intel® RAID Activation Keys enable RAID features on Intel® server boards. Several models of Intel® RAID Activation Keys are available for different RAID products and to serve different purposes. This guide is specific to the Intel® RAID Activation Key with the order code, AXXRAKSAS2.
Intel® Integrated Server RAID Requirements Intel® Integrated Server RAID requires a DIMM in addition to the standard server board DIMMs or FBDIMMs. The Intel® Server System S7000FC4UR SAS riser includes a full-size DIMM socket for this DIMM, and the SR1550ALSAS and SR2500LX provide a mini-DIMM socket. Only use memory DIMMs listed under the RAID module section of the Tested Memory List, available under the listing for your system at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.
Install the Intel® RAID Activation Key 1. Remove the RAID Activation Key from its packaging. 2. See your server board or system documentation to locate the ROMB connection in your server. It may be on a midplane board or on the SAS riser board in a specially keyed PCI Express* slot. 3. With the Intel name on the RAID Activation Key facing up, insert the RAID Activation Key into the socket. 4. Make sure the Key is fully seated. The metal clips on the socket sit on the top edge of the Key. Figure 1.
Install the RAID DIMM or Mini-DIMM 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the clips on each side of the DIMM socket. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket. Push the DIMM firmly into the socket. The clips will latch. Make sure the clips are firmly latched. Figure 3.

Reinstall any components inside of the server chassis that you needed to remove. See your server board or chassis documentation for instructions. 3. Install the server chassis cover and connect the AC power supply. Enable and Configure Hardware RAID After you boot your system, update the firmware for the RAID function of the LSI* 1078 controller.
