Category:  Storage Keyword:  Intel ESB2 (SATA2) 20 FAQs Found PAGE  1   2  OF 2    Question Date 1 I’m trying to use this Super Micro server of mine as a test restore target (X7DB8-X motherboard). I have 4 drives connected to the on-board ESB2 SATA controller configured in a RAID-10. I’m booting to a linux LiveCD to attempt a restore, but it’s unable to see my RAID array. It only sees the individual drives. I was hoping you could suggest a linux LiveCD that actually does support this ESB2 controller, or a driver that could be used. 05/31/13 2 We are using 6015P-TB with Windows Vista 32 bit. Do you have a management utility ASM version that will work? 05/10/13 3 I found on your X7DWT-INF motherboard this specification: • Intel ESB2 SATA 3.0Gbps Controller • RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support (Windows only) • RAID 0, 1, 10 support (Linux) Please get us out of the fog as this controller’s spec sounds very bizarre in our ears. 12/07/12 4 When using Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) we can access the controller information but menu settings are "greyed-out" or unavailable even using latest software and drivers, is this a OS related issue? 02/13/12 5 When I press F6 to specify the Intel ESB2 AHCI driver during Windows XP boot up from CD disk; I am given a choice as follows: Intel (R) ICH7R/DH SATA RAID Controller Intel (R) ICH7MDM SATA RAID Controller Intel (R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/5 Series /3400 Series SATA RAID Controller Intel (R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/5 Series SATA RAID Controller I did not see the Intel ESB2 AHCI Driver listed; Not sure which one to select.
