Intel RAID Modules of the RMS3 Family

System design exibility – 1U capable system boards connect to the Storage I/O expansion slot on select Intel®

Xeon® E5 server boards. These modules can be used with Intel and 3rd party chassis without taking up a stand-

ard add-in card slot and without the need for a riser card or low prole chassis cutout.

Exceptional data protection and performance – Supports data redundancy using SAS or SATA hard disk drives

through mirroring, parity and advanced RAID-level options up to double parity (RAID 6). It also provides striping

capability for spans (Ranging from RAID levels 10, 50, and 60 depending on model). A PCI Express* Generation 3

host interface helps to ensure top performance.

Reduced maintenance costs with an optional MFBU – For models with embedded DDR3, a Maintenance Free

Backup Unit (MFBU) oers NAND ash that can retain data for up to ten years. It provides near-instant optimal

RAID performance versus traditional Lithium Ion (LiON) battery backup units (BBUs), which are limited to just

days of retention and can take up to eight hours to charge. In addition, this longer-lasting technology allows

for the same standard three year warranty as other Intel RAID products.

Support for premium feature upgrades – The RMS3CC080/040 includes a connector for an optional hardware-

based key which unlocks one or more advanced software algorithms designed to improve performance and

enhance data protection. For instance, the SSD Cache upgrade enables the use of one or more SSDs as a large

cache pool for the RAID controller. This can signicantly improve the performance of many server applications.
