machine through the network without the need to be physically near that machine. Text, mouse,
and keyboard redirection allows the remote machine to control and configure the client by
entering BIOS setup. The KVM/SOL function emulates a standard PCI serial port and redirects
the data from the serial port to the management console using LAN. KVM has additional
requirements of internal graphics and SOL may be used when KVM is not supported.
On-board Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial ATA (SATA) Support and Options
The Intel
®
C602-A chipset provides storage support by means of two integrated controllers:
AHCI and SCU. By default the server board will support up to 10 SATA ports: Two single
6Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the AHCI controller to the two white SATA connectors labeled
“SATA_0” and “SATA_1”, four 3Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the AHCI controller to the four
black SATA connectors labeled “SATA_2” to “SATA_5”, and four 3Gb/sec SATA ports routed
from the SCU to the SFF8087 miniSAS port labeled “SCU_0”.
Note: The miniSAS connector labeled “SCU 1” is NOT functional by default and is only enabled
with the addition of an Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Key option supporting eight SAS/SATA ports.
Standard 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 0,1,10
Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (RSTe) supporting SATA RAID levels 0,1,5,10
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
Upgrade Keys. Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin connector on the server board labeled
“STOR_UPG_KEY”. The following table identifies available upgrade key options and their
supported features.
