1 Overview The software described in this document is designed for use with Intel® RAID controllers, and with on-serverboard RAID solutions that use the Intel® RAID Software Stack 3 (driver package names begin with "ir3"), Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (driver package names begin with ESRT2) or Intel® IT/IR RAID. Supported Hardware This manual covers the software stack that is shared by multiple Intel® server products: • Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) on the Intel® Enterprise South Bridge 2 (ESB2) in the chipset, the Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9R (ICH9R), the Intel® 3420 PCH chipset, Intel® C200 series chipset and Intel® C600 series chipset used in the following: - Intel® Server Board S1200BTL/S1200BTS - Intel® Server Boards based on the Intel® S5000 and S7000 chipsets - Intel® Server Boards based on the Intel® 5500/5520 chipset with the Intel® I/O Controller Hub 10R (ICH10R) - Intel® Server Boards that include the LSI* 1064e SAS (Serially attached SCSI) controller and some that include the LSI* 1068 SAS controller - Intel® Server Boards S3420GP - Intel® Server Boards S3200SH and X38ML - Intel® SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD (when the module is in ESRTII mode) - Intel® RAID Controller SASMF8I Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 provides driver based RAID modes 0,1, and 10 with an optional RAID 5 mode provided by Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key RKSATA4R5, RKSATA8R5, RKSAS4R5 or RKSAS8R5. Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 provides driver-based RAID modes 0, 1, and 10 with an optional RAID 5 mode provided by the Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 on the ESB2 and LSI* 1064e on some models of Intel® server boards. ESB2 supports SATA only. LSI* SAS 1064e and 1068 provide SATA (Serial ATA) and SAS support. Not all 1068 SAS boards provide Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 modes. Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 must be enabled in the server system BIOS before it is available. Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 is limited to a maximum of eight drives including hot spare(s). Expander devices are not yet supported by ESRT2. • Intel® IT/IR RAID solutions with below Intel® IT/IR RAID controllers: - Intel® RAID Controller SASWT4I - Intel® RAID Controller SASUC8I Intel® RAID Software User's Guide 1
