Intel® RAID Controller RS2BL080 Technical Product Specification 
Hardware 
2.3.2 
Flash ROM 
An 8-MB CFI-compliant flash ROM is used to accommodate RAID firmware and RAID BIOS 
Console 2 OpROM. 
2.3.3 
Boot Strap ROM (SEEPROM) 
The serial bootstrap ROM is used to configure the LSI*SAS2108 ROC before the server board 
configures the PCI Express* registers. The bootstrap ROM sets the Phase Lock Loop (PLL) 
dividers, bootstrap configuration, and so on. 
2.3.4 
NVSRAM 
A 32-KB NVSRAM is used to store disk and drive setup information. 
2.3.5 
SDRAM (Cache) 
The Intel
®
 RAID Controller RS2BL080 includes 512 MB of integrated DDR2 800 MHz ECC 
SDRAM memory. This DIMM is connected directly to the memory controller interface bus of the 
ROC and serves as storage for the executable code transferred from the flash. It also serves as 
cache during RAID transactions. Cache mode selection takes immediate effect while the server 
is online and is available on a per virtual drive basis. The ROC memory controller provides 
single-bit ECC error correction with multi-bit detection support. 
The Intel
®
 RAID Controller RS2BL080 supports the optional Intel
®
 RAID Smart Battery 
AXXRSBBU7 which can be mounted directly as a daughter card on the RAID controller or 
connected remotely to the RAID controller with Remote Extender Board (REB) daughter card 
through a supplied cable to provide a battery backup option for data cached in the memory. See
