Product Overview

The Intel®RAID Controller RS3DC040/RS3DC080 is a PCI-Express®(PCIe®) 3.0, low-proﬁle controller with RAID control

capability, based on the LSISAS3108 RAID On-a-Chip (ROC) device.

• 12.0 Gb/s SAS III performance

The Intel® RAID Controller RS3DC040 uses 1 GB of DDR3 1866-MHz memory and controls four internal Serial Attached SCSI

(SAS) / Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) ports through one SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connector.

These 12Gb/s Intel® RAID Controllers are based on the LSI ﬁrst-to-market SAS IC technology and proven MegaRAID

technology. As third-generation PCIe RAID controllers, these controllers address the growing demand for increased data

throughput and scalability requirements across midrange and enterprise-class server platforms. These RAID controllers 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 controller, within the same enclosure, and in the same virtual drive.

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

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

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

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

The Intel® RAID Controller RS3DC080 uses 1 GB of DDR3 1866-MHz memory and controls eight internal Serial Attached SCSI

(SAS) / Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) ports through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connectors. This

capability lets you use a system that supports both enterprise-class SAS drives and desktop-class SATA III drives.

General Installation Process

Unpack the RAID Controller

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

controller from the antistatic bag, and inspect it for damage. A

low-proﬁle bracket is included with the RAID controller. If the RAID

controller 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 controller, 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 controller,

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 RAID Controller

Insert the RAID controller into a PCIe slot on the motherboard in the

host computer, as shown in the following ﬁgure. Press down gently, but

ﬁrmly, to seat the RAID controller correctly in the slot. Secure the RAID

controller to the host computer chassis with the bracket screw.

NOTE: This RAID controller is a PCIe x8 card, and it can

operate in x8 or x16 slots. Some PCIe slots, however, support

only PCIe graphics cards; if a RAID controller is installed in

one of these slots, the RAID controller will not function. Refer

to the guide for your motherboard for information about the

PCIe slot.

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 Controller to

the SAS/SATA Devices

NOTE: Refer to the 12Gb/s Intel

RAID Controller

User Guide on the Intel website

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

information about the SAS cables.

Use SAS cables to connect the RAID controller to SAS

devices, SATA devices, or both. Refer to 12Gb/s Intel

RAID Controller User Guide on the Intel website

http://www.intel.com/support for information about the

connector locations.

RS3DC080 as shown

General Installation Process

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 controller scans the ports.

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+G to run the utility.

NOTE: Refer to the Intel

RAID Software User

Guide for detailed steps on conﬁguring drive

groups and virtual drives.

Install the Operating System Driver

The RAID controller 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 controllers 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.
