5 Intel® Blade Storage Expansion Module for the Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 The Intel® Blade Storage Expansion Module for the Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 is a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage device which can be installed on a blade server that supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (see the Tested Hardware and Operating System List at http://support.intel.com/support/ to see if your blade server supports this expansion unit). The expansion unit has an intelligent RAID controller and cache memory that can support RAID level-0, level-1, and level-5 (depending on the model). It supports RAID configurations that use up to three hot-swap SAS hard disk drives in the expansion unit and up to two hard disk drives that are installed in the host blade server. The expansion unit also supports up to two I/O-expansion cards (standard-form-factor, and small-form-factor) to provide additional network connections and has a blade expansion connector that allows another expansion unit to be installed.
