Product Overview
Unsurpassed Data Availability
SAS builds on parallel SCSI by providing higher 
performance, improving data availability. The SAS 
interface supports both SAS disk drives for 
data-intensive applications, and Serial ATA (SATA) 
drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference data.
The ARC-1882P includes 8 external SAS ports for 
easy expansion. When ARC-1882P SAS RAID 
controller used with SAS expanders, the adapter 
can provide up to (128) devices through one or 
more SAS JBODs, making two SFF-8470 connec-
tors at the XMC front bezel are used for connectiv-
ity. Each connector combines four SAS/SATA ports 
into a single jack-screw style locked connection for 
operation in rugged environments.  
The ARC-1882P is a high performance XMC (PMC 
with high-speed serial fabric interconnect Mezzanine 
Card) that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring 
high bandwidth storage. It is based on the ROC I/O 
controller, equipped with 8 ports of either SAS or 
SATA connectivity at 6.0 Gb/s per ports. Features 
include high performance dual core ROC processor, 
1GB DDR3-1333 memory and high speed PCIe 3.0 
x8 interface. A heat-sink is provided adequate 
cooling for the dual core ROC controller and 
conducts heat to front bracket. ARC-1882P can be 
used on Video/IR systems and Signal Intelligence, 
etc. Application areas can be found in markets such 
as medical, military, aerospace and automation. 
( 8 Ports SAS/SATA RAID Ruggedized XMC)  
The SAS RAID controller supports broad operating 
system including Windows XP/Vista/server 
2003/2008/Win7/server 2012/Win8, Linux (Open 
Source), FreeBSD (Open Source), Solaris (Open 
Source), Mac and more, along with key system 
monitoring features such as enclosure 
management(SES2 and SMP) and SNMP function.
Easy RAID Management
A set of 8 green LEDs and 8 red LEDs are 
provided on the backside of the board to transport 
activity/fault status for each of the 8 attached 
devices. The global state of these activity/fault 
indicators is also presented on the front panel 
using a single green and a single red LED. The 
controller contains an embedded McBIOS RAID 
manager that can access via hot key at BIOS 
boot-up screen. This pre-boot RAID manager can 
use to simplify the setup and management of RAID 
controller. The adapter firmware also contains a 
browser-based McRAID storage manager which 
can be accessed through the ArcHttp proxy server. 
The McRAID storage manager allows local and 
remote to create and modify RAID set, volume set, 
and monitor RAID status from standard web 
browser. The Single Admin Portal (SAP) monitor 
utility can support one application to scan multiple 
RAID units in the network.
The SAS RAID controllers can also provide RAID 
levels 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6,10, 30, 50, 60, Single Disk 
or JBOD  for maximum configuration flexibility. The 
RAID 6 can offer fault tolerance greater that RAID 1 
or RAID 5 but only consumes the capacity of 2 disk 
drives for distributed parity data. The SAS RAID 
controllers with extreme performance RAID 6 
engine installed provide the highest RAID 6 feature 
to meet this requirement. Its high data availability 
and protection derives from the following capabili-
ties: Online RAID Capacity Expansion, Array 
Roaming, Online RAID Level / Stripe Size 
Migration, Global Online Spare, Automatic Drive 
Failure Detection, Automatic Failed Drive 
Rebuilding, Disk Hot-Swap, Online Background 
Rebuilding, Instant Availability/Background 
Initialization, Auto Reassign Sector, Redundant 
Flash Image and Battery Backup Module.
ARC-1882P has featured with controller based 
hardware encryption function. Controller based 
hardware encryption describes the encryption of 
data occurring at the disk array controller before 
being sent to the disk drives. Since RAID controller 
is a natural central point of all data therefore 
encryption at this level is inherent and also reduces 
deployment complexity. ARC-1882 RAID controller 
has dedicated electronic circuitry for the crypto-
graphic engine embedded in the ROC and 
operating at full channel speeds. The hardware 
encryption does not impact the performance of 
ARC-1882P RAID controller and can implement on 
any kinds of HDD that is transparent to the user, 
the OS, and applications.
