LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA Characteristics
5.1
Flash
The LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA has onboard Flash ROM for the BIOS and the firmware. The LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA provides
one 4-M x 8-bit Flash ROM for storing the BIOS and the firmware.
5.2
Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA. See
for connector locations.
PCIe Connector (J7). The LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe connection is through the edge
connector, J7, which provides connections on both the top (J7B) and bottom (J7A) of the board. The signal definitions
and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
SATA and SAS Connectors (J4 and J5). The LSI SAS 9200-8e HBA supports SATA and SAS connections through
connectors J4 and J5, which are SFF-8088 mini-SAS, external, right-angle connectors.
