Hardware Intel® Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR (AXXROMBSASMR) Technical Product Specification
2.7 Supported Device Technology
2.7.1 Support for Hard Disk Drive Devices
The Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR integrates four internal high-performance
SAS/SATA ports that support SAS and enterprise-class SATA hard drives. Each port supports
both SAS and SATA devices using the SAS Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP), Serial Management
Protocol (SMP), and Serial Tunneling Protocol (STP). The SSP protocol enables communication
with other SAS devices. STP allows the SAS RAID controller to communicate with SATA
devices via SATA commands.
2.7.2 SAS Expander Support
The Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR supports LSI* expanders, Vitesse* SAS
expanders and PMC* expanders that are used as a component in Intel enclosures. Other
expanders may be supported post launch, based on market conditions and customer
requirements.
2.7.3 Support for Non-Hard Disk Drive Devices
Because SAS-based non-hard drive devices were not available when this module was in
development, support for these devices will be determined as they become available. For
information on support for non-hard drive devices, see the Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module
SROMBSASMR Tested Hardware and Operating System List.
2.7.4 Enclosure Management Support
The Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module SROMBSASMR supports SES2 enclosure management
using in-band signaling with expander-based backplanes and out-of-band signaling through I
2
C
bus with direct-connect non-expander backplanes.
