Configuring the Intel
®
RAID SSD Cache Controller
RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX
You can use the Intel
®
RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX in
the following scenarios:
• Low-end, internal SATA configuration:
In this configuration, use the RAID card as a high-end SATA, SATA II, or SATA III
compatible card that directly-connects up to four drives or an internal expander.
This configuration is mostly for low-end or entry servers. Enclosure management is
provided through an out-of-band I
2
C bus.
• Midrange internal SAS configuration:
This configuration is like an internal SATA configuration, but with high-end SAS
drives. This configuration is more suitable for low-range to midrange servers.
