Intel® Server System R2000GZ/GL 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: • Two single 6 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the AHCI controller to two white 7-pin SATA ports labeled "SATA-0" and "SATA-1" on the server board. Embedded RAID levels 0 and 1 supported. • Four 3 Gb/sec SATA ports routed from the SCU controller to the multi-port mini-SAS connector labeled "SCU_0 (0-3)". Note: The mini-SAS connector labeled "SCU_1 (4-7)" 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.
