General Installation Process

Check the Mounting Bracket

CAUTION: Damaging the screw can void the warranty. To

prevent damage to the screw, center the screwdriver in

the top of the screw.

Use a #1 Phillips* screwdriver that is ESD safe to remove the two

Phillips screws that connect the full-proﬁle bracket to the board.

Unscrew the two screws located at the top and bottom edges of the

board. Avoid touching any other board components with the

screwdriver or the bracket.

Remove the full-proﬁle bracket from the controller. Do not damage

the board.

Check the mounting bracket on the controller (system-dependent). If

required for your system, replace the full-height mounting bracket that

ships on the controller with the low-proﬁle bracket supplied. Complete

step A through step D to attach the short bracket.

Place the controller on top of the low-proﬁle bracket. Position the

bracket so that the screw holes in the tabs align with the openings

in the board.

DUse a #1 Phillips torque screwdriver, that is ESD safe, set to a

maximum torque of 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds. Replace the two

Phillips head screws removed in step A.

CAUTION: Exceeding these torque speciﬁcations can

damage the board, connectors, or screws, and can void

the warranty on the controller.

Unpack the Controller

Unpack the controller in a static-free environment.

Remove the controller from the antistatic bag, and

carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice

any damage, contact Intel or your reseller support

representative.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of data loss, make a

backup of your data before changing your system

conﬁguration.

Prepare the Computer

CAUTION: Disconnect the computer from the

power supply and from any networks to which

you will install the controller, or you risk

damaging the system or experiencing electrical

shock.

Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord

from the rear of the power supply.

Remove the Cover

Remove the cover from the chassis.

Install the Controller

Insert the controller into an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty x8

PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the rear of the computer

that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if

applicable. Align the controller to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but

ﬁrmly, to seat the controller correctly in the slot. The following ﬁgure

shows how to insert the controller into a PCIe slot.

NOTE: The shape, size, and locations of the components

on your controller and its bracket might vary from this

illustration. The controller requires a x8 PCIe slot.

General Installation Process

Secure the Controller Bracket

Secure the controller bracket to the system’s chassis.

Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage the

system retention mechanism to secure the controller to

the system’s chassis.

Replace the Cover

Replace the cover of the chassis.

Connect Internal SAS Cables

Connect internal SAS cables between the controller and

the SAS backplane, any other SATA or SAS devices in

the system chassis, or both. The Intel 12Gb/s SAS

Controller has one SFF-8643, internal x4, mini-SAS HD

connector. Use a cable with an internal mini-SAS HD

connector on one end (to connect to the controller) and

the appropriate connector to attach to the SAS or SATA

devices on the other end.

Power up the System

Reconnect any power cords and power up the system.

Reconnect any power cords and reconnect any network

cables. Turn on the power.

Windows Driver Installation

Use the INTEL_SAS3.SYS driver for the Windows XP* x64, Windows Server 2003* (x86, x64, or A64), Windows Server 2008* (x86, x64, or IA64), Windows

Server 2012*, Windows Vista* (x86 or x64), Windows 7*, or Windows Server 2008* R2 operating systems (OSs). Intel does not support the Windows XP

x86 server.

Refer to the Windows ReadMe.txt ﬁle on the website http://www.intel.com/support for driver installation directions for your particular OS version.

Connect SAS Cables

Connect SAS cables between the controller and the SAS

enclosure that contains SATA or SAS devices. The Intel

12Gb/s SAS Controller has one SFF-8644, external x4

mini-SAS HD connector. Use a cable with an external

mini-SAS HD connector (SFF-8644) on one end (to

connect to the controller) and the appropriate connector

to attach to the SAS or SATA devices on the other end.

Linux Driver Installation

Refer to the Linux ReadMe.txt ﬁle on the website http://www.intel.com/support for driver installation directions.
