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.
Note: Mixing SAS ports from different domains to a single SAS expander card is not supported.
