SAS / SAS RAID Support

All backplanes and drive bays configured within an Intel® Server System M70KLP have support for 2.5" SAS

or SATA drives. However, the system has no embedded SATA, SAS, or SAS RAID controller for use on the

front drive bay. To support SATA or SAS drives, one or more PCIe add-in SAS or SAS RAID controller(s) must

be installed to any open PCIe add-in slot on the server board or riser card.

Up to two 4-port mini-SAS HD connectors from an add-in Host Bus Adapter (HBA) or RAID card can be

cabled to a single backplane using cables with connectors that match those of the add-in card (mini SAS HD)

and backplane (Slim-SAS).

Intel® SAS RAID RMFBU Support

Many Intel SAS RAID cards have support for an optional RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit (RMFBU).

During a power loss event, this kit prevents possible data loss by providing the RAID card with enough

backup power to save any unwritten data.

The standard system can support up to three RFMBUs mounted to the top side of the system air duct. The

mounting location closest to the back edge of the air duct is designed to support two stacked RMFBU

modules. In the GPU enabled system, one RMFBU can be installed to the air duct.
