Re: Where can i find performance info new raid controllers RMS25 series??

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:19:18 GMT

Hi Rosemary,

http://www.intelraid.com/uploads/RAID_Product_Matrix.pdf lists the feature between RMS25PB080 and RMS25KB080. In brief, the RMS25PB080 includes a RAID-On-Chip processor which is powerful enough for parity calculations for RAID 5 and 6; whereas the RMS25KB080 with lower price only includes a I/O Controller which is limited in performance such that only RAID 0 and 1 are possible.

For performance on RMS25PB080, please refer to below data of RS25 series raid controllers using same LSI* RAID-On-Chip 2208.

Re: Question Controller Intel RS2SG244 not lit LEDs in case of failures

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:00:53 GMT

Hi Leandro,

Below is description of jumpers J1B1, J4A4 and J4A5 In RS2SG244 hardware user guide @ http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/rs2sg244/sb/CS-031785.htm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2x8-pin connector. Connects to an LED that indicates whether a drive is in a fault condition. There is one LED per port. When lit, each LED indicates the corresponding drive has failed or is in the unconfigured-bad state.

The LEDs function in a direct-attach configuration (there are no SAS expanders). Direct attach is defined as a maximum of one drive connected directly to each port.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These jumpers are only used with 3rd party chassis WITHOUT Intel SAS expanders. You need prepare 24 LEDs, each LED with 2-pin. Then you can plug each LED's 2 pins to corresponding 2 pins of 2x8-pin connector of 3 jumpers.

To support fault LED with Intel SAS expander installed, you can use SAS in-band SGP feature with SAS expander backplane or connect J1C1 (SES connector) to the SES header of non-expander backplane. For details, please refer to the cabling guide @ http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-030394.htm.

Re: IRQ for PCI slot unassigned for a S1200BTS

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:19:43 GMT

Hi,

Since the bridge does not generate an interrupt, BIOS should program this value to FFh as per the PCI bridge specification. This is not an issue if the video card works well.

Re: Onboard NICs on S5520SC fail to install under Windows 2008 R2 SP1

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:04:24 GMT

Hi Tony,

You cannot install NIC driver because your NIC device ID 10AA is not in driver's inf device list. I checked my S5520HC with same NIC chip and found the device ID is 10A7. Probably your NIC EEPROM is corrupted. The Device ID is stored in the EEPROM. EEPROM content corruption might induce device ID change. Go ahead to replace your board.

Re: Intel S1200BTL reset issue

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 May 2011 08:25:38 GMT

Hi,

This issue has been observed by Intel with S1200BTL and may be fixed in a future BIOS. Currently the workaround is to enable onboard NIC ROM in BIOS when installing or using Windows* 2008 R2 .

Grant

Re: RAID0 Error

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:17:32 GMT

It works as design. When the RAID chip detects a drive is pulled out, it will report an error message. Then the RAID chip will try to start the RAID 0 volume. In your case, the RAID chip started the RAID 0 successfully so you can access the data. See http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-020992.htm for information on RAID 0.

Eric,

Hope the replacement can fix your problem.
