The Intel® Server Board S2600CW2SR/S2600CWTSR supports a Gen3 12G SAS IO Controller
with LSISAS3008 (S2600CW2R/S2600CWTR does not support this). The 8-port SAS (12G) or
SATA (6G) will connect to a 1x2 Right Angle (RA) mini-SAS HD connector and be used for Hot
Swap Backplane (HSBP) connectivity.
The following list summarizes the features of the LSISAS3008 controller:
 Providing an eight-lane 8Gbps PCIe 3.0 host interface
 Providing an eight-port 12Gbps SAS and 6Gbps SATA interface
 Providing a full-featured hardware-based RAID solution that supports RAID levels 0, 1,
1E, and 10
 16Mbytes Flash ROM memory
 256kbit MRAM memory for write journaling support
 Up to two 36-pin RA mini-SAS HD connectors
