The RES3FV288 is an Intel Storage Expander card featuring a high-performance SAS 3.0 capable expander. It enables the connection of up to 28 inside-the-box SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) devices, plus it delivers 8 external ports for connection to a JBOD. Each expander port supports SAS and SATA transfers based on the speed of the host or target at either 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s. Furthermore, 6Gb/s signals are aggregated by the expander to allow for 12Gb/s communication with RAID add-in cards capable of this higher data rate. The card is designed with a low profile, MD2 form factor, suitable for low-profile slot use or mounting to a chassis wall/air-duct. It supports management functions such as discovery and enclosure management and can be cascaded. It utilizes a 36-Port 12 Gb/s SAS-3 Expander Chip and supports multiple data rates (3.0 Gb/s, 6.0 Gb/s, and 12.0 Gb/s SAS; 3.0 Gb/s and 6.0 Gb/s SATA) and protocols (SSP, STP, and SMP). It includes a 128-Mbit Quad SPI flash ROM for firmware and a heartb
