Adaptec Embedded SAS/SATA with HostRAID Controller
The onboard Adaptec AIC-9140W SAS controller supports two ports. Each port
supports up to four SAS/SATA drives.
The SAS cable (CBL-097) can only be used with backplanes that support both
SAS and SATA.
If a Supermicro chassis is used, the backplane must be rev. 2.0 or above, which
comes with gold trim.
If you want to use this motherboard with a Supermicro SAS Mobile Rack, such as
CSE-M28E1, be sure to use cable CBL-0116. (Cable CBL-0116 is a cross-over
cable, and is not provided with this motherboard.)
Using the Adaptec RAID Confi guration Utility (ARC)
The onboard SAS Controller is enabled by default. To disable it, please set jumper
JPS1 to pins 2-3. (See Chapter 5 for details and jumper location.)
Upon detecting the SAS Controller BIOS, please make sure that the Adapter WWN
address is listed. This is a 16-digit number. If this number is not shown, you will
not be able to use the controller.
Once the WWN address is listed, press the <Ctrl> and <A> keys simultaneously
when prompted to access the Adaptec SAS RAID BIOS. Note: To select an option,
use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then press the <Enter> key to select
it. To return to the previous menu, press the <ESC> key.
