Intel® Integrated Server RAID Requirements

Intel® Integrated Server RAID requires a DIMM in addition to the standard server board DIMMs or FBDIMMs. The Intel® Server System S7000FC4UR SAS riser includes a full-size DIMM socket for this DIMM, and the SR1550ALSAS and SR2500LX provide a mini-DIMM socket. Only use memory DIMMs listed under the RAID module section of the Tested Memory List, available under the listing for your system at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.

A backup battery, the Intel® RAID Smart Battery Backup Unit (AXXRSBBU4), is available to prevent data loss in the RAM cache if AC power is lost. The backup battery maintains the data for up to 72 hours. The Smart Battery Backup Unit mounts to the RAID controller card.
