1 Overview The Intel® RAID Controller SRCSATAWB is a high-performance intelligent PCIExpress* SATA RAID controller that offers reliability, high performance, and faulttolerant disk subsystem management. This is an RAID solution meets the internal storage needs of workgroup, department, or enterprise systems to use cost-effective SATA media.
Operating System Support • Windows Server 2003*, Windows 2000* Enterprise Server, SP4 and Windows XP*. • Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 3.0 and 4.0. • SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 9, SP1-3 and SLES 10. The operating systems supported may not be supported by your server board. See the tested operating system list for your server board at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/.
Redundancy and Error Handling • • • • • In-band and out-of-band SES2. Enclosure management support. Activity and fault indicators per drive. Drive coercion (auto-resizing to match existing disks). Auto-detection of failed drives with transparent rebuild. There must be disk activity (I/O to the drive) for a missing drive to be marked as failed. • Auto-resume on reboot of initialization or rebuild (must be enabled before virtual disk creation).
• Redundancy through: — Configuration stored in nonvolatile RAM and on the drives (COD). — Hot-swap support. — Optional battery backup for cache memory. Controller provides fast or trickle charges. SATA Features of the 1078 Controller • Provides eight independent phys, each supporting 3.0 Gbps SATA data transfers. • Scalable interface that supports up to 16 physical devices and 64 logical devices via expanders. • Supports SSP to enable communication with other SATA devices.
Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration Rules • • • • Migration must occur to the same or larger capacity configuration. Migration cannot occur if there is more than one virtual disk in a logical array. Migration and OCE cannot be done on Spanned Arrays (RAID 10, 50, 60). Migrations supported are : RAID 1 to RAID 0, RAID 5 to RAID 0, RAID 6 to RAID 0. • With OCE migrations supported are RAID 0 to RAID 1, RAID 0 to RAID 5, RAID 1 to RAID 5. Beep Codes • Short beep, 1 second on, 1 second off.
2 Intel® RAID Controller SRCSATAWB Hardware Installation Requirements • The Intel® RAID Controller SRCSATAWB, with the provided cables. • A host system with an available x4 or x8 PCI-Express* slot. • The Resource CD, which contains drivers and documentation. • SATA hard drives. Note: Intel Corporation strongly recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Install the RAID Controller 1. Turn off the power to the system and all drives, enclosures, and system components. Remove the power cord(s).
Figure 2. Installing the Intel® RAID Controller SRCSATAWB 5. For the first four drives, ports 0 - 3, connect one 4-port combined end of an internal cables to the upper connector. If you are using more than four drives without using an expander backplane, connect the second cable to the lower connector. See the following figure. Notes: • To prevent throughput problems, use the cables provided or use the shortest possible cable. Do not use cables longer than one meter.

Configure the RAID Controller 1. Turn on the system power and listen to be sure that the SATA devices power up before or at the same time as the system. 2. During the boot, a BIOS message displays to state the keys to press to enter the Intel® RAID BIOS Console 2, such as Press to run BIOS Console 2. This message times out after several seconds. If you miss it, you need to restart the system.

Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Install Drive Roaming Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives. Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not resume. To use drive roaming: 1.
Drive Migration Drive migration moves a configured set of hard drives from one controller to another. The drives must remain on the same port and be reinstalled in the same order as in the original configuration. The controller to which you migrate the drives cannot have an existing configuration. Note: Only complete configurations can be migrated; individual virtual disks cannot be migrated. Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at the same time. To migrate drives: 1.
Appendix B: Installation / Assembly Safety Instructions As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines: • Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed: • To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location.
Additional safety guidelines: • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
English Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions. See also Intel Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information on the Resource CD and/or at http:\\support.intel.com\support\motherboards\server\sb\cs010770.htm. The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.
A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. Also, there may be sharp pins and edges on some board and chassis parts. Contact should be made with care. Consider wearing protective gloves. Deutsch Lesen Sie zunŠchst sŠmtliche Warn- und Sicherheitshinweise in diesem Dokument, bevor Sie eine der Anweisungen ausfŸhren.
