Storage Controller Options Overview

The server platform supports many different embedded and add-in SATA/SAS controller and SAS Expander
options to provide a large number of possible storage configurations. This section will provide an overview of
the different options available.

Embedded SATA / SAS Controller support

Integrated on the server board is an Intel
integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU.
The server board (with no additional storage options installed) will support up to six SATA ports:
• Two 6 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the AHCI controller to two white 7-pin SATA ports labeled
"SATA-0" and "SATA-1" on the server board. Embedded RAID levels 0 and 1 supported.
• Four 3 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the SCU controller to the multi-port mini-SAS connector labeled
"SCU_0 (0-3)".
Note: The mini-SAS connector labeled "SCU_1 (4-7)" is NOT functional by default and is only enabled with the
®
addition of an Intel RAID C600 Upgrade Key option supporting 8 SAS/SATA ports.
With the addition of one of several available Intel
supporting additional embedded SATA, SAS, and software RAID options. 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.
