SAS expander backplane directly reduce in SATA mode?

I have a C6220 II with an Expander backplane of 2.5 ". However, I don't need performance of fast storage in this machine and want to use the PCI slot for something else, so I thought to remove the RAID controller and attach directly to the controller of the motherboard, which takes only supported SATA. My drives are SATA, rather than SAS, but I understand that this will not work because the controller should support SAS to use the Extender.

I was wondering if it is possible to change a setting, perhaps a rider, to allow backplane running in SATA mode directly, rather than as an Expander, so that I can use the direct connection of motherboard? I only need two drives from the node, then I don't need to use the expander control.

Thank you.

Tentonin,

There are no jumpers to move for this, you need to replace backplane with version 2.5 live Backplane part # WC17M (below)

That will allow you to connect directly 24 SAS/SATA ports to 24 2.5 "SATA/SAS drives. Because it is a passive basket background, it does not support the flexible allocation of hard drives at the nodes; each node in the chassis will get an equal share.

Let me know if it helps.

    Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not unusual that your HARD drive runs slower after the change of mode of AHCI SATA compatible.
    You have disabled the SATA feature and so you cannot use the benefits of SATA.

    And I must say that you are wrong buddy if you say that the AHCI mode does not work with XP.

    You can use the SATA in Win XP, but you must include the SATA driver first.
    Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA driver, and you could include using the nLite software.

  • Change the SATA mode in Windows 8

    I'm moving to sata IDE to RAID mode in Windows 8 in order to avoid the re-formatting my hard drive. The solution in Win7 (update registry KEY in regedit does not work). Any advice?

    With all due respect, Srivinvasa Sharath, your answer is very useful.  The question is not ' how can I change the SATA mode in my BIOS?  But, on the contrary, assuming I already know how to change the SATA in my BIOS mode, how Win8 to accept this change and actually start correctly.  There is a guide on how to proceed for Win7, but it doesn't work for Win8.  So we would know what to do differently with Win8 to make it work.

    Hi, I worked on a weird issue where some of my clients would pass through their IP address and the only way I could get it back was to spend their open port in authentication mode. I need to run in closed mode, because I change VLAN via MAB.

    I worked with TAC, and they suggested that add the command "authentication control direction in" in my config switchport (below). Couple tests Ive done, this seems to help. But I understand why. Isn't the direction-control a little command reduce to naught the principle of closed mode operation? That is, it allows a communication until the device is allowed. Thank you.

    I also need to use this command to preserve the authenticated devices. He was going on with a video surveillance system, which was an embedded Linux operating system. It's the MAB and because there was no transmission all noisy traffic (unlike a windows box) then the switch would not be able to reauth it as it had no mac address to auth, so show up with an 'unknown' in the MAC field.

    It allows essentially traffic flow out of the port. This active unit to receive HTTP traffic and respond, then the switch could auth it again once the device sent a frame.

    When you do a Show authentication sessions you will notice a Oper control dir: the two will pass to Oper control dir: in

  • Satellite Pro A300D - SATA mode disappeared in end update BIOS

    In version 1.9 of the PSAK1E A300D bios there are settings to change the mode of the SATA controller. After updating the BIOS, it disappears. The cell phone was in non-AHCI mode before the update and now it is stuck there. Anyone got the old BIOS at hand (my backup is long gone)? It will completely go AWOL if I downgrade the BIOS version?

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you downloaded the right version of the BIOS of your laptop or another model?

    You should also try to load the default settings in the BIOS (F9).
    Check this box!

    To be hoenst I can t imagine that this option is no longer available on newer BIOS version

  • Satellite A100: How do I enable SATA NATIVE mode

    Hello, my laptop Satellite A100 PSAA9 and the southbridge is an ICH7M
    I put an SSD in my laptop and the drive controller is locked-> Ultra DMA 6 IDE compatible mode.
    I would switch to the native SATA-1 to increase the bandwidth (from 110 MB/s-150), but I can't find any setting so that, in the last BIOS 6.00

    I think that maybe in the past, Toshiba has enable this feature, but I suppose they might have turned it off for beginners who don't know how to install the SATA drivers during the installation of Windows.

    I found Toshiba BIOS database, but it is locked by a password.

    You need the native SATA controller?

    The laptop was equipped with a controller SATA interface supports the Serial ATA Rev. 1. 0a.

    Some laptop models take a BIOS that contains a SATA mode option.
    This option can be changed on AHCI or in compatibility mode.

    Is it possible to enable it in any other way (hidden fixing, utility sw)? Or only new special BIOS for this update (I have the latest 5.90) can solve this problem?

    Thank you for the answers.

    No response for the last 5 days. Of course, there is no special hidden parameter or BIOS. ;)

    As far as I know that there is no hidden settings and also no special BIOS. If something like that exists perhaps for technicians and non-public use.
