Integrated Server RAID Requirements
Intel
®
Integrated Server RAID requires a DIMM in addition to the standard server board DIMMs or
FBDIMMs. The Intel
®
Server System S7000FC4UR SAS riser
includes a full-size DIMM socket
for this DIMM, and the SR1550ALSAS and SR2500LX provide a mini-DIMM socket. Only use
memory DIMMs listed under the RAID module section of the
Tested Memory List,
available under
the listing for your system at
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server
.
A backup battery, the Intel
®
RAID Smart Battery Backup Unit (AXXRSBBU4), is available to
prevent data loss in the RAM cache if AC power is lost. The backup battery maintains the data for
up to 72 hours. The Smart Battery Backup Unit mounts to the RAID controller card.

Prepare the Server
1.
Observe all safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this guide and in the documentation
for your server board and chassis.
2.
If your server system is running, power off all peripheral devices attached to the server, power
down the server, and disconnect the AC power cord from the server.
3.
Remove the chassis cover. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
