Server Board S2600WP TPS Product Architecture Overview
3.4.3
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
There are fourteen USB 2.0 ports available from Intel
®
C600-A PCH. All ports are high-speed,
full-speed and low-speed capable.
A total of five USB 2.0 dedicated ports are used by Intel
®
Server Board S2600WP. The USB port distribution is as follows:
 ServerEngines* BMC PILOT III consumes two USB 2.0 ports (one USB1.1 and one
USB2.0)
 Two rear USB 2.0 ports
 One internal USB port for extension of front-panel USB port
 Wake on USB is supported on the rear and front panel USB ports for S1 only. Standby
power on USB ports is not required
3.4.4
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) Controller
The Intel
®
C600-A chipset provides storage support through two integrated controllers: AHCI
and SCU. By default, the server board will support up to six SATA ports: Two single 6Gb/sec
SATA ports routed from the AHCI controller to one white SATA connector labeled “SATA-1” on
mother board and “SATA-0” on bridge board, and four 3Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the
SCU to the multi-drive port connector labeled SAS/SATA 0-3 (grouped as SCU0).
Note: The multi- drive port connector labeled SAS/SATA 4-7 is NOT functional by default and is
only enabled with the addition of an Intel
®
RAID C600 Storage Upgrade Key option supporting
eight SAS/SATA ports.
It supports the Serial ATA Specification, Revision 3.0, and several optional sections of the Serial
ATA II: Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0 Specification, Revision 1.0 (AHCI support is required for
some elements).
Intel
®
Server Board S2600WP implements six SATA or SAS ports. The implementation is

There are two embedded software RAID options using the storage ports configured from the
SCU only:
 Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) based on LSI* MegaRAID SW
RAID technology supporting SATA RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10
 Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (RSTe) supporting SATA RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10
The server board is capable of supporting additional chipset embedded SAS and RAID options
from the SCU controller when configured with one of several available Intel
®
RAID C600-A
