Power Supply Requirements for the SAS 8708EM2 RAID Controller

All power is supplied to the SAS 8708EM2 RAID controller through the
PCI Express 3.3V rails and the 12V rail. Onboard switching regulator
circuitry operating from the 3.3V rails and the 12V rail provide the
necessary voltages. The following states determine the typical current
consumption of the controller:

State 1: During a hard reset

State 2: During a disk stress test

State 3: While sitting idle at the DOS prompt

The supply voltages are 12V ± 8 percent (from PCI edge connector only)
and 3.3V ± - 9 percent (from PCI edge connector only).

Table 3.9

lists

the power supply for the RAID controller for each of the three states at
the different voltages.

Note:

+12V is used in the charging circuitry for the battery pack
on the optional iBBU battery-backed daughter card. If the
BBU daughter card is mounted, the following power
consumption figures apply:

During trickle charging of the battery pack: N/A (no
trickle charge for Li-ION)

During fast charging of the battery pack: 230mA in +12V
