1 Overview The Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N and RMS25CB080N are highperformance intelligent PCI Express* 3.0 compliant SAS/SATA RAID controllers that offer reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. This is an ideal RAID solution that meets the internal storage needs of workgroup, department, or enterprise systems to use with cost-effective SATA or high performance SAS media.
Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N and RMS25CB080N The Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N and RMS25CB080N are intelligent RAID adapter with an integrated LSI SAS2208 dual-core RAID-On-Chip chipset, providing both a SAS controller and RAID engine. With 1GB RAM built onto the board and eight independent ports supporting 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS data transfers using two SFF-8087 mini multi-lane connectors, the controllers support up to 128 enterprise-class SAS or SATA devices.
The operating systems supported may not be supported by your server board. See the Tested operating system list for your server board at http://www.intel.com. To make sure the RAID module supports your operating system, see also the Tested Hardware and Operating System List for the Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N and RMS25CB080N. Usability • The the Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N ships with both a standard and a low-profile bracket. • Small, thin cabling with serial point-to-point 6.
• Drive coercion (auto-resizing to match existing disks). • Auto-detection of failed drives with transparent rebuild. There must be disk activity (I/O to the drive) for a missing drive to be marked as failed. • Auto-resume of initialization or rebuild on reboot (the Auto Rebuild feature must be enabled before virtual disk creation).
SAS/SATA Features • Provides eight independent phys, each supporting 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS data transfers per PHY. • • • • Scalable interface that supports up to 128 physical devices through expanders. Supports SSP to enable communication with other SAS devices. Supports SMP to communicate topology management information. Supports single PHY or wide ports consisting of 2, 3, or 4 PHYs within a single quad port. • Allows addressing of multiple SATA targets through an expander if using SATA 2.

Electrical Characteristics All power is supplied to the adapter via the PCI Express 3.3V and 12V rail. Necessary Voltages are provided by onboard switching regulator circuitry operating off of 12V and 3.3V rails. The following states determine the typical current consumption of the board: • State 1. During initialization of all RAID 5 logical drives simultaneously • State 2. While sitting idle at the DOS prompt. — Supply voltage = 12V +/- 8% (from PCI edge connector only) — Supply voltage = 3.
Operating Certifications The RAID modules in this document are qualified to get Microsoft Windows Winqual* certification (WHQL) at product launch. Supported Device Technology The various device technologies supported by the Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080N and RMS25CB080N is described in the subsections that follow.
RAID Functionality and Features Hierarchy The fundamental purpose of a RAID system is to present a usable data storage medium (virtual drive) with some level of redundancy to a host operating system. The Intel® RAID firmware is based on the concept of associating physical drives in arrays and then creating a virtual drive from that array that includes a functional RAID level. To create a virtual drive and present it to the host operating system, the RAID firmware typically follows these steps: 1.
RAID Virtual Drive Status Table 11. RAID Virtual Drive Status Drive State Code Description Optimal Optimal The drive operating system is good. All configured drives are online. Degraded Degraded The drive operating condition is not optimal because one of the configured drives has failed or is offline. Offline Offline The drive is not available to the operating system and is unusable.

Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Install Drive Roaming Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives. Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not resume. To use drive roaming, follow these steps: 1.
Drive Migration Drive migration moves a configured set of hard drives from one controller to another. The drives must remain on the same port and be reinstalled in the same order as in the original configuration. The controller to which you migrate the drives cannot have an existing configuration. Note: Only complete configurations can be migrated; individual virtual disks cannot be migrated. Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at the same time. To migrate drives, follow these steps: 1.
Appendix B: Installation/Assembly Safety Instructions As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines: • Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed. • To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location.
Additional safety guidelines: • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
English Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions. See also Intel® Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information on the Resource CD and/or at http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-010770.htm. The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.
A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. Also, there may be sharp pins and edges on some board and chassis parts. Contact should be made with care. Consider wearing protective gloves. Deutsch Lesen Sie zunächst sämtliche Warn- und Sicherheitshinweise in diesem Dokument, bevor Sie eine der Anweisungen ausführen.

SICHERHEITSMASSNAHMEN: Immer wenn Sie die Gehäuseabdeckung abnehmen um an das Systeminnere zu gelangen, sollten Sie folgende Schritte beachten: 1. Schalten Sie alle an Ihr System angeschlossenen Peripheriegeräte aus. 2. Schalten Sie das System mit dem Hauptschalter aus. 3. Ziehen Sie den Stromanschlußstecker Ihres Systems aus der Steckdose. 4. Auf der Rückseite des Systems beschriften und ziehen Sie alle Anschlußkabel von den I/O Anschlüssen oder Ports ab. 5.
Notez que le commutateur CC de mise sous tension /hors tension du panneau avant n'éteint pas l'alimentation CA du système. Pour mettre le système hors tension, vous devez débrancher chaque câble d'alimentation de sa prise. C'est le câble d'alimentation qui est considéré comme le moyen de se déconnecter du CA. La prise à laquelle le système est branché doit se situer à proximité de l'équipement et être facilement accessible.
Le microprocesseur et le dissipateur de chaleur peuvent être chauds si le système a été sous tension. Faites également attention aux broches aiguës des cartes et aux bords tranchants du capot. Nous vous recommandons l'usage de gants de protection. Español Lea todas las declaraciones de seguridad y precaucion de este documento antes de realizar cualquiera de las instrucciones. Vea Intel® Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information en el CD Resource y/o en http://www.intel.
Para obtener un enfriamiento y un flujo de aire adecuados, reinstale siempre las tapas del chasis antes de poner en marcha el sistema. Si pone en funcionamiento el sistema sin las tapas bien colocadas puede dañar los componentes del sistema. Para instalar las tapas: 1. Asegúrese primero de no haber dejado herramientas o componentes sueltos dentro del sistema. 2. Compruebe que los cables, las placas adicionales y otros componentes se hayan instalado correctamente. 3.
PASSI DI SICUREZZA: Qualora si rimuovano le coperture del telaio per accedere all'interno del sistema, seguire i seguenti passi: 1. Spegnere tutti i dispositivi periferici collegati al sistema. 2. Spegnere il sistema, usando il pulsante spento/acceso dell'interruttore del sistema. 3. Togliere tutte le spine dei cavi del sistema dalle prese elettriche. 4. Identificare e sconnettere tutti i cavi attaccati ai collegamenti I/O od alle prese installate sul retro del sistema. 5.
