Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP Functional Architecture requires appropriate software support (for example, an AHCI driver) and for some features, hardware support in the SATA device or additional platform hardware. 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 BIOS Setup Utility, accessed during system POST, options are available to enable/disable SW RAID, and select which embedded software RAID option to use. 3.4.3.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise The Intel® C220 series chipset provides support for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise, providing both AHCI (see above for details on AHCI) and integrated RAID functionality. The industry-leading RAID capability provides high-performance RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 functionality on up to 6 SATA ports of the Intel® C220 series chipset. RSTe RAID support is provided to allow multiple RAID levels to be combined on a single set of hard drives, such as RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two disks. Other RAID features include hot-spare support, SMART alerting, and RAID 0 auto replace. Software components include an Option ROM for pre-boot configuration and boot functionality, a Microsoft Windows* compatible driver, and a user interface for configuration and management of the RAID capability of the Intel® C220 series chipset. 3.4.3.3 Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) Features of the embedded software RAID option Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) include the following: Based on LSI* MegaRAID Software Stack Software RAID with system providing memory and CPU utilization Supported RAID Levels - 0, 1, 10, RAID 5 support provides with upgrade key of RKSATA4R5 Open Source Compliance = Binary Driver (includes Partial Source files) or Open Source using MDRAID layer in Linux* OS Support = Microsoft Windows 2012*, Microsoft Windows 2008*, RHEL*, SLES, and other Linux* variants using partial source builds Utilities = Microsoft Windows* GUI and CLI, Linux* GUI and CLI, DOS CLI, and EFI CLI 3.4.4 Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface The Intel® C220 series chipset implements an LPC Interface as described in the LPC 1.1 Specification and provides support for up to two Master/DMI devices. On the server board, the LPC interface is utilized as an interconnection between the chipset and the Integrated Base Board Management Controller as well as providing support for the optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM). 3.4.5 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The Intel® C220 series chipset implements an SPI Interface as an alternative interface for the BIOS flash device.
