1. Introduction
This section presents brief overview of the SAS 12Gb/s host adapters:
ARC-1330-8i, ARC-1330-8x and ARC-1330-4i4x.
1.1 Overview
ARC-1330 series host adapters provide a blazing-fast storage con-
nectivity solution with enhanced reliability and performance and a
wide variety of internal and external connector congurations to
support any application and tiered storage solution. The SAS host
adapters enable large-scale direct attach storage (DAS) arrays
through external 12Gb/s ports, driving up to 128 end-point devices
for SFF-8644 connector. With connectivity options including 8-in-
ternal ports, 8-external, and 4-internal/4-external ports, ARC-1330
series 12Gb/s host adapters are ideal for large capacity external
server storage RAID and no-RAID enclosure.
Unparalleled Performance
Areca PCIe 3.0 x 8 lanes 12Gb/s SAS host adapters are able to
connect to 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA SAS/SATA hard disk
drives, allowing for tiered storage that optimizes costs and perfor-
mance. This is because SAS adapters leverage a common electri-
cal and physical connection interface that is compatible with SATA
technology. SAS drives are optimal when speed and reliability are
of the utmost concern, while SATA drives are appropriate when
capacity and cost are more important. Areca offers a diverse selec-
tion of SAS host adapter including a wide variety of internal and
external connector congurations to support any application, from
high-performance workstations to large-scale DAS arrays at high
performance concerns. System integrators can use the ARC-1330
host adapters to build large-scale storage array infrastructures that
support both SAS and SATA devices. The mixing drivers into serv-
ers can be felt immediately when using the ARC-1330 to develop
a tiered storage solution with hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state
drives (SSDs) and removable media (DAS/JBOD).

Easy Management
A set of 8 green LEDs and 8 red LEDs are provided on the front
side of the MD2 low prole board to transport activity/fault sta-
tus for each of up to 8 attached devices. The global state of these
activity/fault indicators is also presented on two sets of header. The
adapters contain a BIOS set up utility that can access via hot key
at system BIOS boot-up screen. This pre-boot setup utility provides
exibility for customer to optimize the host adapter parameter. API
library for customer combines the ARC-1330 series function code to
its monitor utility. CLI and API code have supported a system level
ATA-8 microcode download for upgrading SATA disk rmware and
SES microcode download for upgrading enclosure expander rm-
ware.
