Dell Precision 5820 Tower Owner's Manual
MegaRAID 9440-8i and 9460-16i controller
Small and medium businesses (SMBs) deploying entry-level server platforms and workstations need affordable, reliable storage solutions. The MegaRAID Tri-Mode Storage Adapter is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) controller card that addresses these needs by delivering proven performance and RAID data protection for a range of non-business crticial applications. The MegaRAID Tri-Mode storage adapters bring NVMe performance benefits to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection for SAS/SATA interfaces. Based on the dual-core SAS3516 or SAS3508 RAID on Chip (ROC) and 72-bit DDR4-2133 SDRAM, these controllers provide bandwidth and IOPS performance increases and are ideal for high-end servers utilizing internal storage or connecting to large-scale external storage enclosures.
Key Features:
NOTE:The MegaRAID 9440 and 9460 controllers are supported when using Intel Xeon CPUs on 7820, 7920 Towers or Intel Xeon W Series CPUs on 5820 Tower.
Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables operation of NVMe, SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. All the 3 modes concurrently serving NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives can be operated by a single controller. The controller negotiates between the speeds and protocols to seamlessly work with any of the three types of storage devices. Tri-Mode support provides a non-disruptive way to evolve existing data center infrastructure. By upgrading to a tri-mode controller, users can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to other system configurations. The MegaRAID Tri-Mode storage adapters support both REFCLK and SRIS based NVMe x1, x2, and x4 devices.
- Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables the operation of NVMe, SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay, allowing for endless design flexibility
- Supports 12, 6, and 3 Gb/s SAS and 6, 3 Gb/s SATA data transfer rates
- Up to 8 PCIe links. Each link supporting x4, x2, or x1 link widths, supporting 8.0 GT/s (PCIe Gen3) per lane
- SFF-9402 Compliant, Connector Pin-out
- SFF-8485 Compliant, SGPIO
- Fits into rack-mounted servers with low-profile form factor and side-mounted SAS connectors
- Support critical, high-bandwidth applications with PCIe 3.1 connectivity
- CacheVault flash back-up at power fail. Supports bad block management
- Balance protection and performance for critical applications with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60
