  • 8-port 12Gb/s SAS connectivity handles 16 physical devices
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with on-board IO processor
  • 2GB 1866MHz DDR3 cache accelerates array performance
  • Mezzanine form factor designed for blade system integration

Internal RAID controller for blade servers

The Supermicro AOM-S3108-H8 is an 8-port mezzanine card built around the LSI SAS 3108 controller. It delivers 12Gb/s per internal port and supports up to 16 physical devices with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two gigabytes of 1866MHz DDR3 cache and an optional supercapacitor unit protect cached data during power loss.

Suited for blade chassis needing high-density SAS

This module fits blade systems that accept the AOM form factor and require 12Gb/s internal connectivity with full hardware RAID offload. It negotiates link widths automatically and handles 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 12Gb/s transfer rates. Builders who need external ports or a standard PCIe bracket should look elsewhere.

8 internal ports at 12Gb/s with 2GB DDR3 cache

The card provides eight internal SAS-3 ports, each running at 12Gb/s, backed by 2GB of on-board DDR3 cache. This combination decides whether the module matches your blade's storage backplane and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

What mezzanine slot does the AOM-S3108-H8 fit?

The card is designed for Supermicro blade systems that accept an AOM-style mezzanine module; it mounts directly into the blade's dedicated mezzanine connector without cables.

How is the optional supercap installed, and what step is often missed?

The BTR-TFM8G-LSICVM02 supercap kit (installation kit MCP-240-00127-0N) plugs into the card's TFM header; the step often missed is securing the supercap bracket to the chassis before closing the blade.

When will the 2 GB DDR3 cache need replacement?

The on-board 2 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 cache is soldered and not user-replaceable; only the optional supercap module may require replacement after several years to maintain cached data protection.
