Intel® Server System R1000EP Product Family TPS Storage Control Options Overview 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 through two integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU. The standard server board (with no additional storage options installed) will support up to six SATA ports:  Two 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to two white 7-pin SATA ports labeled "SATA_0" and "SATA_1" on the server board.  One onboard I/O SAS Module connector.  Four 3 Gb/sec SAS/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 eight 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". Figure 37.

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 through two integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU.
The standard server board (with no additional storage options installed) will support up to six
SATA ports:
Two 6 Gb/sec SATA port routed from the AHCI controller to two white 7-pin SATA ports
labeled “SATA_0” and “SATA_1” on the server board.
One onboard I/O SAS Module connector.
Four 3 Gb/sec SAS/SATA ports routed from the SCU controller to the multi-port mini-
SA
S connector labeled “SCU_0”.
Note:
The mini-SA
S 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 eight
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”.
