• For help with enclosure management cabling, see the Enclosure Management Cabling Guide for Pedestal Systems with Hot-swap Drive Bacplanes. This guide is on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD. ROMB Server Board The Intel® Server Board S5000PSL with product code S5000PSLROMB or S5000PSLROMBR supports Intel® Integrated Server RAID. This model of the server board includes the dual-mode six-port SATA Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub, as described in "SATA Server Board". In addition, it includes a controller that is installed into a specially keyed PCI Express* x8 slot (slot 4). This SAS controller provides eight additional SAS / SATA ports, four internal and four external, that are capable of three modes. In native SAS mode, the controller supports up to 120 physical drives when expanders are used. If the optional Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAK18E with a memory DIMM, and an expander are installed, the Intel® Integrated Server RAID module supports up to 16 physical drives and up to 64 logical drives. This provides intelligent RAID at RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50. See the Tested Hardware and Operating System List for supported RAID DIMMs. Enclosure management support is inband. No additional SGPIO or SES2 cable is required for the expander. Because the RAID features have firmware installed in them, each type of RAID has a utility that can be run when the server is booted to configure the RAID options. If multiple RAID methods are used, such as Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub and SAS, multiple configuration utilities are available. Each is available at a different time during the server boot process. The RAID drives can be managed and re-configured using the Intel® RAID Web Console 2 utility that is on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD. Instructions are provided in the Software User's Guide: Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II, Intel® Integrated Server RAID, and Intel® RAID Controllers SRCSAS18E and SRCSAS144E. This guide is on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD. The Intel® RAID Smart Battery can be installed to provide up to 65 hours of data cache protection during a power outage. Intel® Integrated Server RAID supports up to 16 physical drives and up to 64 logical arrays when an expander is installed. Enclosure management support is provided over SES2 (inband). For help with enclosure management cabling, see the Enclosure Management Cabling Guide for Pedestal Systems with Hot-swap Drive Bacplanes.

®
Integrated Server RAID. This model of the server
board includes the dual-mode six-port SATA Intel
®
6321ESB I/O Controller Hub, as
described in
”SATA Server Board”
. In addition, it includes a controller that is installed
into a specially keyed PCI Express* x8 slot (slot 4). This SAS controller provides eight
additional SAS / SATA ports, four internal and four external, that are capable of three
modes.
In native SAS mode, the controller supports up to 120 physical drives when expanders are
used. If the optional Intel
®
RAID Activation Key AXXRAK18E with a memory DIMM,
and an expander are installed, the Intel
®
Integrated Server RAID module supports up to
16 physical drives and up to 64 logical drives. This provides intelligent RAID at RAID
levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50. See the
