Note: Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 has twenty-four independent ports supporting
6Gb/s, 3 Gb/s, or 1.5Gb/s SAS and SATA data transfers using six SFF-8087 mini-SAS
connectors. This controller supports 4 inputs and 20 outputs configuration, or 8 inputs and 16
outputs configuration. The backplane/midplane listed in this document supports 8 physical
drives at most, so that it is recommended to use RAID controller/module directly to support up to
8 physical drives, instead of connecting Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 between the
RAID controller/module and backplane/midplane. Refer to Intel® RAID Expander Card
RES2SV240 Hardware User’s Guide (E93121-0xx) for more details.
