Intel® Server Board S1600JP TPS BIOS Setup Interface Setup Item SAS/SATA Capable Controller RSTe Boot Configuration Options Disabled Intel® ESRT2 (LSI*) Intel® RSTe Help Text - Intel® ESRT2: Provides host based RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5. Uses Intel®ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR). - Intel® RSTe: Provides passthrough drive support. Also provides host based RAID 0/1/10 support, and RAID 5 (in SATA mode only). Uses Intel® RSTe iastor drivers. Comments This option selects the RAID stack to be used with the SCU. If Disabled is selected, any drives connected to the SCU will not be usable. Intel® ESRT2 provides host based RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5. For a RAID 5 configuration, this requires one of the Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Keys uses Intel® ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR), and is also supported by Linux MDRAID*. Intel® RSTe provides pass-through drive support and provides host based RAID 0/1/10 support, and RAID 5 (in SATA mode only). Uses Intel® RSTe drivers in Windows*, and MDRAID stack in Linux*. The Intel® RSTe RAID stack is required if it is necessary to provide pass-through support for non-RAID drives, or if support is needed for more than eight drives. Neither AHCI Capable Ctrlr SAS/SATA Capable Ctrlr This selects the device that will support Bootable Drives, whether they are in RAID arrays or individual passthrough SAS/SATA drives. Once selected and set up (if necessary), individual bootable devices will be listed in the Bootable Devices menu display. This option appears only when Intel® RSTe has been selected as the operational mode on both the AHCI and SCU controllers. In that case there is a conflict and only one controller can be selected as having bootable drives attached. Once selected and set up (if necessary), individual bootable logical or physical drives available on the selected controller will be listed in the Bootable Devices menu display. If only one device selects RSTe, it will be available as a boot device along with any other devices - this option is only necessary to distinguish between which the RSTe device runs the Option ROM instance. BIOS is required to designate the OPROM for the boot device selected here. Two iterations of the OPROM cannot fully load simultaneously, and the version fully loaded will only show devices connected to the given controller, so the OPROM load order is based on BIOS selecting the correct device. Note: If RSTe is selected, then only one CONTROLLER can be bootable, so there will be situations where the boot drive *OR* an optical device will be bootable but not both.
