Product Overview

• 12.0 Gb/s SAS III performance

The Intel® RAID Module RMS3HC080, which is based on the LSISAS3008 I/O controller, uses a 16-MB Flash memory device

for storing the BIOS and ﬁrmware and controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal

connectors.

This 12Gb/s Intel® RAID Module is based on the LSI ﬁrst-to-market SAS IC technology and proven MegaRAID technology. As

third-generation PCIe RAID modules, these modules address the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability

requirements across midrange and enterprise-class server platforms. These RAID modules provide these features:

• 6.0 Gb/s SATA III performance

• Eight-lane 8 GT/s PCIe host interface

SAS technology brings a wealth of options and ﬂexibility with the use of SAS devices and SATA devices within the same storage

infrastructure. However, SAS devices and SATA devices bring individual characteristics that make each one a more suitable

choice depending on your storage needs. MegaRAID products give you the ﬂexibility to combine these two similar technologies

on the same module, within the same enclosure, and in the same virtual drive.

NOTE: These RAID modules support SATA II and SATA III technologies.

For more information, including the technical speciﬁcations for your RAID module, refer to the 12Gb/s Intel®RAID Controllers

User Guide on the Intel website http://www.intel.com/support.

NOTE: Record your RAID module serial number in a safe location in case you need to contact Intel.

The Intel® RAID Module RMS3HC080 is a PCI-Express* (PCIe*) 3.0 RAID adapter whose PCIe* connector is a custom 80-pin

connector capable of performance up to 8GT/s per lane.

Install the RAID Module

Attach the RAID Module to the matching server board connector

and press the module card firmly to engage the barrel standoffs.

Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the card is properly

seated in the connectors, and then insert the four pin standoffs into

the barrel standoffs respectively.

General Installation Process

Unpack the RAID Module

Unpack the RAID module in a static-free environment. Remove the

module from the antistatic bag, and inspect it for damage. A low-proﬁle

bracket is included with the RAID module. If the RAID module appears

to be damaged or the low-proﬁle bracket is missing, contact Intel or

your reseller support representative.

CAUTION: It is good practice to back up your data before

adding hardware, such as a RAID module, to your system.

The latest versions of the documentation, drivers, and ﬁrmware are

available on the Intel website at http://www.intel.com/support. See

Reference Documents for more information.

The website contains utility programs, device drivers for various

operating systems, and related documentation.

Prepare the Host Computer

CAUTION: Before you install the RAID module,

make sure that the host computer is disconnected

from the power and from any networks.

Turn off the host computer, and unplug the power cords

from the rear of the power supply. Remove the cover from

the host computer.

Install the Barrel Standoff

Power down the system and disconnect the power cord.

Locate the matching SAS Module connector on your server board.

See your server board documentation.

Insert the barrel standoffs into the matching holes in the server

board. The Intel

Server Board S2600GZ is shown for illustrative

purpose.

General Installation Process

Run the Intel® RAID BIOS

Conﬁguration Utility

Run the Intel

RAID BIOS Conﬁguration Utility to

conﬁgure the groups and the virtual drives. When the

message about the conﬁguration utility appears on the

screen, immediately press Ctrl+C to run the utility.

NOTE: Refer to the Intel

RAID Software User

Guide for detailed steps on conﬁguring drive

groups and virtual drives.

Conﬁgure and Install the

SAS/SATA Devices

Conﬁgure and install the SAS devices, SATA devices, or

both in the host computer case.

Refer to the documentation for the devices for any

preinstallation conﬁguration requirements.

Connect the RAID Module to

the SAS/SATA Devices

NOTE: Both non-expander backplanes (one cable per drive)

and expander backplanes (one or two total cables) are

supported. Drive power cables (not shown) are required.

Connect the wide end of the provided cable to the up SFF-8643

connector (ports 0-3).

Push the cable into the SFF-8643 connector until it makes a slight

If using more than four drives, connect the wide end of the second

cable to the down SFF-8643 connector (ports 4-7).

Connect the other ends of the cables to SATA drives or to the ports

on a SATA or SAS backplane.

AF006532

Power up the System

Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the power cords. Turn on

the power to the host computer. Make sure that the power is turned on

to the SAS devices and the SATA III devices before or at the same time

that the power to the host computer is turned on. If the power is

turned on to the host computer before it is turned on to the devices,

the host computer might not recognize the devices.

The ﬁrmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time, the

RAID module scans the ports.

Install the Operating System Driver

The RAID module can operate under various operating systems, but

you must install the software drivers ﬁrst.

You can view the supported operating systems and download the

latest drivers for RAID modules from the Intel website at

http://www.intel.com/support.

Refer to the Intel

RAID Software User Guide on

http://www.intel.com/support for more information about installing

the driver. Be sure to use the latest service packs that are provided by

the operating system manufacturer and to review the readme ﬁle

that accompanies the appropriate driver.
