RAID Support The Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN is available in SATA models and a SAS models. • The SATA model has product code S5000XVNSATA or S5000XVNSATAR. • The SAS model has product code S5000XVNSAS or S5000XVNSASR. The SAS models provides both SAS and SATA support; the SATA models provides only SATA support. For information on configuring RAID, see the RAID software user's guide that is included on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD. SATA Workstation Board The SATA models of the Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN (product code S5000XVNSATA or S5000XVNSATAR) provide an embedded SATA controller that supports both 1.5 Gbps 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 workstation board. For installation instructions, see the documentation that is included with the activation key. See Figure 2 on page 4 for connection locations. When Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO connector on the workstation board when a cable is attached between this connector on the workstation board and to the backplane or I2C interface. Notes: • For help with navigating the BIOS Setup utility, see the Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN Technical Product Specification. • For help with enclosure management cabling, see the Enclosure Management Cabling Guide for Pedestal Systems with Hot-swap Drive Backplanes.

Workstation Board S5000XVN (product code
S5000XVNSATA or S5000XVNSATAR) provide an embedded SATA controller that
supports both 1.5 Gbps 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 workstation board. For installation instructions, see the
documentation that is included with the activation key. See
