3.1 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller Family
The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers are dual-PHY, SAS PCI Express RAID controllers and are used in a system
with a PCI Express slot. PCIe goes beyond the PCI specification in that it is intended as a unifying I/O architecture for
various systems: desktops, workstations, mobile devices, servers,
communications, and embedded devices.
The following subsection provides figures and connector information for the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers.
3.1.1 MegaRAID SAS 9240 RAID Controllers
The MegaRAID SAS 9240-4i low-profile SAS/SATA RAID controller controls four internal SAS/SATA ports through one
SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connector.
The MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i low-profile SAS/SATA RAID controller controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two
SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors.
3.1.1.1 MegaRAID SAS 9240 RAID Controllers – Board Layout and Jumper and Connector Information
