RAID Support The Intel® Server Board S5000PSL is available in a these models: • The SATA model has product code S5000PSLSATA or S5000PSLSATAR. This model provides only SATA support. • The SAS model has product code S5000PSLSAS or S5000PSLSASR. It provides both SAS and SATA support. • The model that provides Intel® Integrated Server RAID has product code S5000PSLROMB or S5000PSLROMBR. For information about configuring RAID, see the RAID software user's guide that is included on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD. SATA Server Board The SATA model of the Intel® Server Board S5000PSL (product code S5000PSLSATA and S5000PSLSATAR) provides an embedded SATA controller that supports both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer rates. The BIOS Setup utility provides drive configuration options on the Advanced | ATA Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The "Onboard SATA Controller" option is enabled by default and when enabled, the "SATA Mode" option can be set to either Legacy or Enhanced. • Legacy supports four disk drives and does not provide RAID support. • Enhanced supports six disk drives and is required for RAID configurations. When enhanced mode is selected, you can enable or disable "AHCI Mode" or "Configure SATA as RAID". Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled by "Configure SATA as RAID." The Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II feature provides RAID modes 0, 1, and 10. If RAID 5 is desired, the optional Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 accessory must be installed. This activation key is placed on the SATA_Key connector that is located at the left side of the server board. For installation instructions, see the documentation that is included with the activation key. See Figure 2 on page 6 for connection locations. When Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO connector on the server board when a cable is attached between this connector and the backplane or I2C interface. Notes: • For help with navigating the BIOS Setup utility, see the Intel® Server Board S5000PSL Technical Product Specification. • For help with enclosure management cabling, see the Enclosure Management Cabling Guide for Pedestal Systems with Hot-swap Drive Backplanes.

SATA Server Board
The SATA model of the Intel
®
Server Board S5000PSL (product code S5000PSLSATA
and S5000PSLSATAR) provides an embedded SATA controller that supports both 1.5 and
3.0 Gbps data transfer rates.
The BIOS Setup utility provides drive configuration options on the Advanced | ATA
Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The “Onboard
SATA Controller” option is enabled by default and when enabled, the “SATA Mode”
option can be set to either Legacy or Enhanced.
•
Legacy supports four disk drives and does not provide RAID support.
•
Enhanced supports six disk drives and is required for RAID configurations.
When enhanced mode is selected, you can enable or disable “AHCI Mode” or “Configure
SATA as RAID”. Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled by “Configure

If RAID 5 is desired, the optional Intel
®
RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 accessory
must be installed. This activation key is placed on the SATA_Key connector that is located
at the left side of the server board. For installation instructions, see the documentation that
is included with the activation key. See
