AHCI Capable RAID Options
Option Values: Intel
®
ESRT2 (LSI*)
Intel
®
RSTe
Help Text:
- Intel
®
ESRT2 (Powered By LSI*): Supports RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5 with Intel
®
RAID
C600 Upgrade Keys. Uses Intel ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR).
- Intel
®
RSTe: Provides pass-through drive support. Also provides host based RAID 0/1/10/5
support. Uses Intel
®
RSTe iastor drivers.
Comments: This option only appears when the SATA Controller is enabled, and RAID Mode
has been selected as the operational SATA Mode. This setting selects the RAID stack to be used for
SATA RAID with the onboard AHCI SATA controller.
If a RAID Volume has not previously been created that is compatible with the RAID stack selected, it
will be necessary to Save and Exit and reboot in order to create a RAID Volume.

RSTe: Provides pass-through drive support. Also provides host based RAID 0/1/10
support, and RAID 5 (in SATA mode only). Uses Intel
®
RSTe iastor drivers.
Comments: This option selects the RAID stack to be used with the SCU. If Disabled is
selected, any drives connected to the SCU will not be usable.
Intel

ESRT2 provides host based RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5. For a RAID 5 configuration, this
requires one of the Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys AXXRKSATA4R5, AXXRKSATA8R5,
AXXRKSAS4R5, or AXXRKSAS8R5. Uses Intel
®
ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR), and is also
supported by Linux MDRAID.
Intel
®
RSTe provides pass-through drive support and provides host based RAID 0/1/10 support, and
RAID 5 (in SATA mode only). Uses Intel RSTe drivers in Windows, and MDRAID stack in Linux. The
Intel
®
RSTe RAID stack is required if it is necessary to provide pass-through support for non-RAID
drives, or if support is needed for more than 8 drives.

5. RSTe Boot Configuration
Option Values: Neither
AHCI Capable Ctrlr
SAS/SATA Capable Ctrlr
Help Text:
This selects the device that will support Bootable Drives, whether they are in RAID arrays or
individual pass-through SAS/SATA drives. Once selected and set up (if necessary), individual
bootable devices will be listed in the Bootable Devices menu display.
Comments: This option appears only when Intel
®
RSTe has been selected as the operational
mode on both the AHCI and SCU controllers. In that case there is a conflict and only one controller can
be selected as having bootable drives attached.
