Fujitsu D3216-A13 RAID controller

This Fujitsu D3216-A13 RAID controller is a new add-on card built around the LSISA3108 1.2 GHz dual-core ROC with 1 GB DDRIII cache. It targets administrators who need hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight internal 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA ports. Optional CacheVault flash protection preserves data during unexpected power loss.

Upgrade from 6 Gb/s or 3 Gb/s HBAs

The card replaces older 6 Gb/s or 3 Gb/s host bus adapters when throughput or RAID offload becomes a bottleneck. Eight 12 Gb/s ports and support for up to 128 attached devices make the jump worthwhile for arrays that saturate legacy links or require advanced RAID levels not handled by basic HBAs. The PCI Express 3.0 host interface must be available on the motherboard.

Installation notes

Install the card into a PCI Express 3.0 slot and connect internal miniSAS SFF-8643 cables to the drive backplane. Ensure the CacheVault module is seated if flash cache protection is required. Common issues include forgetting to enable the RAID BIOS in system firmware and mismatching cable orientation on the horizontal connectors.

Questions about this item

Does the Fujitsu D3216-A13 require a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot for installation?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 host interface and fits a standard x8 or x16 slot.

What is the common mistake when connecting drives to the two miniSAS SFF8643 internal connectors?

The connectors are mounted horizontally; installers often route cables upward, causing strain on the latch mechanism.

When should the CacheVault flash cache protection module be replaced on the 1GB DDRIII cache?

The module is designed to last the controller's service life; replacement is only needed if the status LED reports a fault.
