6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID Controllers User Guide
August 2013
Overview
6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID Controller Detailed Descriptions
These devices are compliant with the Fusion-MPT™ architecture and provides a PCIe x8 interface. Each port on the
MegaRAID SAS controllers supports SAS devices, SATA devices, or both, using SSP, SMP, STP, and SATA. The SSP
protocol enables the MegaRAID SAS controllers to communicate with other SAS devices. The SATA protocol enables
the MegaRAID SAS controllers to communicate with SATA devices.
NOTE All of these RAID controllers provide an x8 PCIe 2.0 or x8 PCIe 3.0
interface.
1.3 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID Controller Detailed Descriptions
The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controllers are described in detail in the following subsections.
1.3.1 MegaRAID SAS 9240 RAID Controllers
 The MegaRAID SAS 9240-4i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller is a PCIe 2.0,
half-size, full-height RAID controller based on the LSISAS2008 PCIe-SAS/SATA I/O Processor chip. The MegaRAID
SAS 9240-4i controller controls four internal 6-Gb/s SAS/SATA ports through one SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS
connector.
 The MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller is a PCIe 2.0,
half-size, full-height RAID controller based on the LSISAS2008 PCIe-SAS/SATA I/O Processor chip. The MegaRAID
SAS 9240-8i controller controls eight internal 6-Gb/s SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS
connectors.
1.3.2 MegaRAID SAS 9260 RAID Controllers

controls four internal SAS/SATA ports through one SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connector.
 The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller
controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors.
 The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9260-16i PCIe 2.0 Standard-Height Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller
controls 16 internal SAS/SATA ports through four SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors.
 The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9260CV-4i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller
controls four internal SAS/SATA ports through one SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connector, and it has an
onboard Cache Vault Flash Module 01 (CVFM01) that connects to a remote Cache Vault Power Module 01.
 The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9260CV-8i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller
controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors, and it has an
onboard Cache Vault Flash Module 01 (CVFM01) that connects to a remote Cache Vault Power Module 01.
 The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9260DE-8i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller
controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors and offers data
security using disk encryption.
1.3.3 MegaRAID SAS 9261 RAID Controller
The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i PCIe 2.0 Low-Profile Serial-Attached SCSI/SATA Disk Array Controller controls eight
internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 mini-SAS 4i internal connectors.
