Intel® Server System R1000BB Product Family TPS 6. Storage Controller Options Overview The server platform supports many different embedded and add-in SATA/SAS controller and SAS Expander options to provide a large number of possible storage configurations. This section will provide an overview of the different options available. 6.1 Embedded SATA / SAS Controller support Integrated on the server board is an Intel® C602 chipset that provides embedded storage support via two integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU. The standard server board (with no additional storage options installed) will support up to six SATA ports: • One 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to a white 7-pin SATA port labeled "SATA-1" on the server board. • One 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to the mSATA connector • Four 3 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the SCU controller to the multi-port mini-SAS connector labeled "SCU_0". Note: 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. With the addition of one of several available Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Keys, the system is capable of supporting additional embedded SATA, SAS, and software RAID options. Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin connector on the server board labeled "STOR_UPG_KEY". The following table identifies available upgrade key options and their supported features. Table 22.

Storage Controller Options Overview
The server platform supports many different embedded and add-in SATA/SAS controller and SAS Expander
options to provide a large number of possible storage configurations. This section will provide an overview of
the different options available.
6.1
Embedded SATA / SAS Controller support
Integrated on the server board is an Intel
®
C602 chipset that provides embedded storage support via two
integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU.
The standard server board (with no additional storage options installed) will support up to six SATA ports:
•
One 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to a white 7-pin SATA port labeled “SATA-1”
on the server board.
•
One 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to the mSATA connector
•
Four 3 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the SCU controller to the multi-port mini-SAS connector labeled
“SCU_0”.
Note
: 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.
With the addition of one of several available Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys, the system is capable of
supporting additional embedded SATA, SAS, and software RAID options.
Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin
connector on the server board labeled “STOR_UPG_KEY”.
The following table identifies available upgrade key options and their supported features.
