ARC-12x4 internal PCIe 2.0 host RAID controllers are a cost-effective solutions for connecting up to 4 6Gb/s SATA peripheral devices. The RAID controllers are based on the same RAID kernel of field-proven internal/external RAID controller and same device driver architecture with widely used 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller. Applications that benefit most features from these controllers include NAS, server RAID solutions, web servers, near-line backup, security systems and streaming applications. ARC-1214-4I support directly attached 4 internal 6Gb/s SATA ports via 1 SFF-8087 connector. Adapter Architecture ARM storage I/O processor 1GB on-board SDRAM with ECC PCIe 2.0 x8 lanes host interface Support up to 4 internal 6Gb/s SATA physical links ARC-1214-4I supports up to 4 x 6Gb/s SATA HDDs Multi-adapter support for large storage requirements BIOS boot support for greater fault tolerance BIOS PnP (plug and play) and BBS (BIOS boot specification support Support EFI BIOS for Mac Pro NVRAM for RAID event & transaction log Redundant flash image for controller availability Battery Backup Module (BBM) ready (Optional) Model: ARC-6120BA-T121 RoHS compliant RAID Features RAID level 0, 1, 10(1E), 3, 5, 6 Single Disk or JBOD Multi-level RAID 0 and RAID 10 (R00 and R100) Support up to 1MB stripe size Multiple RAID selection Online array roaming Online RAID level/stripe size migration Online capacity expansion and RAID level migration simultaneously Online volume set growth Instant availability and background initialization Support global and dedicated hot spare Automatic drive insertion/removal detection and rebuilding Greater than 2TB capacity per disk drive support Greater than 2TB per volume set (64-bit LBA support) Support intelligent power management to save energy and extend service life Multiple pairs SSD/HDD disk clone function SSD automatic monitor clone (AMC) support Monitors/Indicators System status indication through global HDD activity/fault connector, individual fault connector, LCD/serial bus connector and alarm buzzer SMTP support for email notification SNMP support for remote manager Enclosure management (Serial bus and SGPIO) ready RAID Management Field-upgradeable firmware in flash ROM In-Band Manager Hot key "boot-up" McBIOS RAID manager via M/B BIOS Web browser-based McRAID storage manager via ArcHttp proxy server for all operating systems Support Command Line Interface (CLI) API library for customer to write monitor utility Single Admin Portal (SAP) monitor utility Out-of-Band Manager Firmware-embedded web browser-based McRAID storage manager, SMTP manager, SNMP agent and Telnet function via Ethernet port API library for customer to write monitor utility Support push button and LCD display panel (Optional) Operating System Windows 8/2012/7/2008/Vista/XP/2003 Linux FreeBSD VMware (only driver package available w/o management utility) Solaris 10/11 x86/x86_64 Mac OS 10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x
