1 Overview
The Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 offers high performance, high disk drive
connectivity,scalability, and flexibility in various storage environments, and is an
attractive alternative to other expensive and complex topologies. The SAS expander is
ideal for high availability and scalable server clustering environments and front-end
storage subsystems used in clusters, Storage Area Networks (SANs), and Network-
Attached Storage (NAS) environments. It is an optimal device for use in data centers and
SANs, leveraging existing SCSI infrastructure for investment protection and ease of
migration and implementation.
Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 is a 24-port, 6.0Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) expander that enables the connection of up to 24 directly attached SAS or Serial
ATA (SATA) devices. Each expander phy is individually configurable and performs SAS
and SATA transfers based on the speed of the host or target at either 6.0Gb/s, 3.0Gb/s, or
1.5Gb/s.
The Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 addresses the growing demand for
increased data throughput and scalability requirements across entry level, midrange, and
enterprise server platforms.
SATA and SAS are serial, point-to-point, device interfaces that use simplified cabling,
smaller connectors, lower pin counts, and lower power requirements than parallel SCSI.
Benefits of SAS and SATA
SAS is a serial, enterprise-level device interface that leverages the proven SCSI protocol
set. SAS is a convergence of the advantages of SATA, SCSI, and FC, and is the future
mainstay of the enterprise and high-end workstation storage markets. SAS offers a higher
bandwidth per pin than parallel SCSI and improves signal and data integrity.
The SAS interface uses the proven SCSI command set to ensure reliable data transfers,
while providing the connectivity and flexibility of point-to-point serial data transfers. The
serial transmission of SCSI commands eliminates clock skew challenges. The SAS
interface provides improved performance, simplified cabling, smaller connectors, lower
pin count, and lower power requirements than parallel SCSI.
SAS controllers leverage a common electrical and physical connection interface that is
compatible with Serial ATA technology. The SAS and SATA protocols support the use of
a thin, 7-wire connector instead of the 68-wire SCSI cable or 40-wire ATA cable. The
SAS/SATA connector and cable are easier to manipulate, connect to smaller devices, and
do not inhibit airflow. The point-to-point SATA architecture eliminates difficulties created
by the legacy ATA master-slave architecture, while maintaining compatibility with
existing ATA firmware.

RES2SV240 Hardware Installation
Requirements
• Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240, with full height or low profile brackets,
or with screws
• Available PCI Express* x4 connector, or with available RA 4-pin power connector
• SAS and SATA hard drives up to 6Gb/s speed
Note: Intel Corporation strongly recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Installing the RAID Module
To install the RAID Expander Card, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components.
Remove the power cord(s).
2. Remove the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
3. If necessary, change the bracket on the expander card to fit the height of the server

Figure 2. Installing Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240
5. (Optional) In case power can be supplied remotely from RA 4-pin 12V/5V power
connector, the expander card can be located elsewhere within the server chassis
instead of using a PCI Express slot, if only the cooling condition can meet the
expander card's thermal and atmospheric requirement. The expander card can
therefore be fastened by removing its bracket and fasten it to a customized chassis
bracket, and 3 additional holds reserved. User needs to prepare screws and
standoffs to match the hole size on both the expander card and customized
chassis wall.

AF003495
Figure 3. Installing the Expander Card onto a Customized Chassis Wall
6. Connect the SAS/SATA cables from the backplane (or hard drives) to the expander
card, and from the expander card to a RAID module or RAID controller (see
Figure 4, which takes 6-drive and 4-drive non-expander backplanes in Intel's
pedestal chassis as an example for cabling). For information regarding connecting
the recommended Right-angle end or Vertical end of the SAS/SATA cable to the
SAS connectors of the controller, see your server/workstation board or chassis
documentation. Make sure the cables are properly connected to the controller.
Note: System throughput problems can occur if non-standard SAS cables are used.
To minimize the potential for problems:
✧ Use cables no longer than ten meters for SAS and one meter for SATA. It is
better to use the shortest possible cables. The cable length should be reduced
by about one foot (.33 meters) if using a backplane.
✧ You may connect one device per SATA/SAS cable either as a device or as an
expander.
✧ Route SAS cables carefully.
✧ Use only “straight” SAS cables, not “cross-over” SAS cables.

Safety Instructions
As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines:
• Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers,
bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed.
• To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your
location.
• To help avoid possible damage to the server board, wait five seconds after turning
off the system before removing a component from the server board or disconnecting
a peripheral device from the computer.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong
from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
• To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply.
• Be sure nothing rests on your computer system's cables and that the cables are not
located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the
documentation that came with it.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block
cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place
your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.
When working inside your computer:
• Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this
guide and elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and service
instructions closely.
• Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
• Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also
disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 Hardware User’s Guide
25
Additional safety guidelines:
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on
the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are
disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
• Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a
component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
Protecting against electrostatic discharge
• Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer's electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so
by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal around the card-slot
openings at the back of the computer.
• As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. In addition to
the preceding precautions, you can also take the following steps to prevent damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads.
