Intel® Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
3.4.7.1
SATA RAID
The Adaptec HostRAID™ Technology solution, available with the 6300ESB I/O, offers data
stripping for higher performance (RAID Level 0 and 1), alleviating disk bottlenecks by taking
advantage of the dual independent SATA controllers integrated in the 6300ESB I/O. There is no
loss of PCI resources (request/grant pair) or add-in card slot.
Adaptec HostRAID Technology functionality requires the following items:
• 6300ESB I/O
• Two SATA hard disk drives.
Adaptec Host RAID Technology is not available in the following configurations:
• The SATA controller in compatible mode.
• Adaptec Host RAID Technology has been disabled - D31:F0:AE bits [7:6] have been
cleared
3.4.7.2
Adaptec Host RAID Technology Option ROM
HostRAID offers bootable RAID levels 0 and 1 with other advanced RAID features such as
dedicated hot spares with automatic recovery, on-line capacity expansion, event scheduling,
SAF-TE support, SNMP, DMI, and on-line RAID level migration.
3.4.8
Video Controller
The SE7210TP1-E server board provides an ATI* Rage XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with
8 MB of video SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video subsystem. The ATI
Rage XL chip contains a SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D and 3D engine, and
RAMDAC in a 272-pin PBGA. One 2Mx32 SDRAM chip provides 8 MB of video memory.
The SVGA subsystem supports a variety of modes, up to 1600 x 1200 resolution in 8/16/24/32
bpp modes under 2D, and up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D. It
also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.
Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server
board. On-board video can be disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility which is accessed during
POST or when an add-in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.
