1 Overview The Intel® PCI Express* (PCIe*)-to-Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Module, referred to as the Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module, provides high-performance internal storage connectivity for servers and workstations. The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module provides eight lanes of 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and is matched with eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 8GT/s performance. The low-profile design of the SAS module includes a full-height bracket and low-profile mounting bracket that create a universal fit for any server.
2 Features This section lists the Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module features: • • • • • • • Implements one LSI* SAS 3008 eight-port 12Gb/s SAS to PCIe 3.0 controller Supports eight-lane, full-duplex PCIe 3.
3 Functional Descriptions PCI Express Interface PCIe is a high-speed standard local bus for point-to-point interfacing of I/O components to the processor and the memory subsystems in high-end computers and servers. The LSI* SAS 3008 controller chip contains the PCIe functionality for the Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module. The LSI* SAS 3008 controller chip connects to the PCIe bus and generates timing and protocol in compliance with the PCIe specifications.
4 Operating System Support The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module supports all major operating systems: Windows*, Linux Red Hat*, Linux SUSE* Enterprise Server (SLES), Solaris*, and VMware*. Refer to http://www.intel.com/support for details on the software versions and device driver support. For Solaris support, contact the Intel Technical Support team. Note: The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module also supports the Solaris 10 Update 11 and Solaris 11 Update 1 operating systems.
5 Intel® RAID Module RMS3JC080 Characteristics Memory The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module provides 8MB x 8bit Flash ROM to store the firmware and the BIOS. The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module can provide up to 32K x 8bit NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure occurs or to reflash the board to run IR firmware. LED The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module Heartbeat LED blinks green to indicate the module is capable of general activity. Connectors PCIe Connector (EC1).

The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module supports SATA and SAS connectors through connectors that are dual SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD, internal connectors. Physical Characteristics The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module is a 64.39 x 128.98 mm, custom form factor card. The following figure shows the module board layout. J6 LSI SAS 3008 J5 AF006530 Figure 1.
Thermal and Atmospheric Limits The atmospheric limits for the Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module are as follows: • • • • Temperature range: 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F) (dry bulb) Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% noncondensing Maximum dew point temperature: 32°C (89.
6 Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module Certifications and Safety Characteristics All Intel 12Gb/s SAS Modules meet or exceed the requirements of UL flammability rating 94V-0. Each bare board is marked with the supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Because these boards are installed in a PCIe bus slot, all voltages are less than the SELV 42.4-V limit.
7 Hardware Detailed Installation Instructions To install the Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module, follow these steps: 1. Unpack the module in a static-free environment. Remove the module from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice any damage, contact Intel or your reseller support representative. Caution: To avoid the risk of data loss, make a backup of your data before changing your system configuration. 2.
6. Attach the RAID Module to the matching server board connector and press the module card firmly to engage the barrel standoffs. 7. Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the card is properly seated in the connectors, and then insert the four pin standoffs into the barrel standoffs respectively. AF006533 Figure 3. Install the RAID Module 8. Configure and install the SAS devices, SATA devices, or both in the host computer case.
9. Connect SAS cables between the module and the SAS backplane or any other SATA or SAS device. The Intel 12Gb/s SAS Module has two SFF-8643, internal x4, mini-SAS HD connectors. Use cables with an internal mini-SAS HD connector on one end (to connect to the module) and the appropriate connector on the other end to attach to the backplane or SAS/SATA devices.
