By default, the server board provides support for four SATA ports routed to the mini-SAS connector labeled
SCU_0. The mini-SAS connector labeled SCU_1 is NOT functional by default, and is only enabled with the
addition of an Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Key option supporting 8 SAS/SATA ports.
The server board is capable of supporting additional chipset embedded SAS, SATA, and RAID options when
configured with one of several available Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys.
Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin
connector on the server board labeled “STOR_UPG_KEY”.

Embedded Software RAID Support
The server board includes support for two embedded software RAID options:
Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) based on LSI* MegaRAID SW RAID technology
Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (RSTe)
Using the <F2> BIOS Setup Utility, accessed during system POST, options are available to enable/disable SW
RAID, and select which embedded software RAID option to use.
