2.6.1.1 Safety Characteristics

The Intel

RAID Controller SRCSAS18E meets or exceeds the requirements of UL flammability

rating 94 V0. Each bare board is also marked with the UL flammability rating. For boards

installed in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are lower than the SELV 42.4 V limit.

2.7 Supported Device Technology

2.7.1 Support for Hard Disk Drive Devices

The Intel

RAID Controller SRCSAS18E integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA ports

that provide support for both SAS and SATA hard disk drives. Each port supports SAS and

SATA devices using the SAS Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP), Serial Management Protocol (SMP),

and Serial Tunneling Protocol (STP). The SSP protocol enables communciation with other SAS

devices. STP allows the SAS RAID controller to communicate with SATA devices via SATA

commands.
