Intel® RAID Module RMS2LL040 and RMS2LL080 Hardware User’s Guide 21
Safety Characteristics
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS2LL040 and RMS2LL080 meets or exceeds the
requirements of UL flammability rating V0. Each bare board is marked with the supplier
name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating.
Operating Certifications
The RAID controller in this document is qualified to get Microsoft Windows* Winqual
certification (WHQL) at product launch.
Supported Device Technology
The various device technologies supported by the Intel
®
RAID Module RMS2LL040 and
RMS2LL080 are described in the subsections that follow.
Support for Hard Disk Drive Devices
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS2LL040 and RMS2LL080 integrates eight internal high-
performance SAS/SATA II 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 using the SATA commands.
SAS Expander Support
The Intel
®
RAID Module RMS2LL040 and RMS2LL080 supports LSI* expanders and
Maxim SAS expanders, that are used as a component in Intel enclosures. Other expanders
may be supported post launch, based on market conditions and customer requirements.
Support for Non-Hard Disk Drive Devices
As SAS-based non-hard drive devices were not available when this controller 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
®
