Intel® Tri-Mode RAID adapters General Features Overview The Intel® Tri-Mode adapters include a SAS interface and an NVMe interface. Both share the same connectors by multiplexing the data and sideband signals. As compared with the previous generation of Intel RAID adapters, the new Tri-Mode family offers increased performance by reducing latency, increasing IOPS, increasing queue depth and increasing cache memory.
This feature maintains the integrity of the data on each drive, even if the drives have changed their physical device ID. More information on how to use the drive roaming feature can be found on the Intel® RAID Software User Guide for full featured and entry level RAID adapters.
Drive Migration The Intel® Tri-Mode RAID adapters allow to move one VD from one adapter to another, this is called Drive Migration. In other words, Drive Migration is the transfer of a set of drives in an existing configuration from one adapter to another.

The Intel® Tri- Mode RAID Adapters have standard female SFF-8643 (Mini-SAS High-Density) connectors to connect the drives and are designed for the Intel® Server Boards and Systems for the next-generation Intel® Xeon® processor product family. Those systems have the appropriate backplane capable of supporting SAS, SATA and NVMe drives.
SAS/SATA Drive Support The Intel® Tri-Mode RAID Adapters are designed to support SAS, SATA and NVMe drives; however, if desired, they can be used to connect only SAS and SATA drives. In this case, standard SAS cables and backplanes can be used (make sure to use only those backplanes which have been tested and listed as compatible hardware).
SAS Expander Configuration for the Intel® RMSP3TD160F RAID Module The SAS ports of the Intel® RMSP3TD160F RAID Module are driven by two (2) SAS cores and therefore, are divided into two (2) separate SAS domains: Domain 1 and Domain 2. One or two SAS connectors within a common domain can be cabled to a single SAS Expander Card when cabling the RAID Adapter to a SAS Expander.
Figure 11. RAID module RMS3PTD160 SAS port domain identification Supported Intel SAS Expanders include several multiport mini-SAS HD (8643) connectors. Some are used as output connectors to a backplane while others are used as input connectors from the RAID Module. The following diagrams identify the connector types for each supported SAS expander card.

During normal system operation, the RMFBU monitors the voltage level of the DRAM of the Intel® RAID Adapter or Intel® RAID Module. If the voltage drops below a predefined level due to an AC power failure or brief power outage, the RMFBU protects the integrity of the cached data by providing sufficient back-up power to offload the data from the RAID RAM to the NAND flash.
