Chapter 3
ServeRAID-MR10M 
SAS/SATA Controller 
Characteristics

This chapter describes the characteristics of the ServeRAID-MR10M 
SAS/SATA Controller. It consists of the following sections:

•

Section 3.1, “ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller”

•

Section 3.2, “ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller 
Characteristics”

•

Section 3.3, “Technical Specifications”

3.1

ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller

The ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller is a dual PHY, SAS 
PCI Express adapter and is used in a system with a PCI Express slot

. 

PCI Express goes beyond the PCI specification in that it is intended as 
a unifying I/O architecture for various systems: desktops, workstations, 
mobile, server,

 

communications, and embedded devices. 

The ServeRAID-MR10M controller has one LSISAS1078 ROC (RAID-on-
chip) processor that controls eight external SAS/SATA ports through two 
x4 SAS external connectors.

3.1.1

Board Layout and Connector Information

This subsection provides the board layout and connector information for 
the ServeRAID-MR10M controller. The following subsections provide 
graphics and connector information for the controller.

The ServeRAID-MR10M controller has eight external SAS/SATA 
connectors. 

Figure 3.1

 displays the connectors on the controller, while 

Table 3.1

 describes them.
