Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN TPS

Functional Architecture

Revision 1.5

Intel order number: D66403-006

For higher performance, you can use data stripping to alleviate disk bottlenecks by taking

advantage of the dual independent DMA engines that each SATA port offers. Data mirroring is

used for data security. If a disk fails, a mirrored copy of the failed disk is brought on-line. There

is no loss of either PCI resources (request/grant pair) or add-in card slots.

With the addition of an optional Intel

®

RAID Activation Key, Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID

Technology II is also capable of providing fault tolerant data stripping (software RAID Level 5),

such that if a SATA hard drive fails, you can restore the lost data on a replacement drive from

the other drives that make up the RAID 5 pack.

See Figure 2 for the location of Intel

®

RAID Activation Key connector location.

Embedded Server RAID Technology functionality requires the following items:

±

Intel

®

ESB-2 I/O Controller Hub

±

Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology Option ROM

±

Intel

®

Application Accelerator RAID Edition drivers, most recent revision

±

Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology is not available in the following configurations:

±

The SATA controller in compatible mode

±

Intel

3.2.2.2

Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology Option ROM

The Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology for SATA Option ROM provides a pre-operating

system user interface for the Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology implementation and

provides the ability for an Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology volume to be used as a

boot disk and detect any faults in the Intel

®

Embedded Server RAID Technology volume(s)

attached to the Intel

®

RAID controller.

3.2.3

Parallel ATA (PATA) Support

The integrated IDE controller of the ESB2-E ICH6 provides one IDE channel. It redefines

signals on the IDE cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up

to 100 MB/s. For this workstation board, the IDE channel was designed to provide optical drive

support to the platform. The BIOS initializes and supports ATAPI devices such as LS-120/240,

CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM. The IDE channel is accessed through a single standard 40-

pin IDE connector (J2J2) that provides the I/O signals. You can configure and enable/disable

the ATA channel by accessing the BIOS Setup utility during POST.

3.2.4

USB 2.0 Support

The USB controller functionality integrated into ESB2-E provides the workstation board with the

interface for up to seven USB 2.0 ports. Four external connectors are located on the back edge

of the workstation board. One internal 2x5 header (J3J1) is provided, capable of supporting two

optional USB 2.0 ports. One USB port Type A connector (J3G1) is provided to support

installation of a USB device inside the server chassis.
