SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD
The Intel
®
Workstation Board S5520SC provides a SAS module slot (J2J1) for the installation of an optional Intel
®
SAS Entry
RAID Module AXX4SASMOD. Once the optional Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD is present, the x4 PCI
Express* links from the ICH10R to PCI Express* Slot 2 (x8 mechanically, x4 electrically) will switch to the SAS module slot.
The optional Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD includes a SAS1064e controller that supports x4 PCI Express*
link widths and is a single-function PCI Express* end-point device. The SAS controller supports the SAS protocol as
described in the Serial Attached SCSI Standard, version 1.0, and also supports SAS 1.1 features. A 32-bit external memory
bus off the SAS1064e controller provides an interface for Flash ROM and NVSRAM (Non-volatile Static Random Access
Memory) devices.
The optional Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD provides four SAS connectors that support up to four hard drives
with a non-expander backplane or up to eight hard drives with an expander backplane.
The optional Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD also provides a SGPIO (Serial General Purpose Input / Output)
connector and a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) connector for backplane drive LED control.
