Characteristics of the LSI 6Gb/s HBAs
3.1.3.4 Physical Characteristics
The LSISAS9211-4i HBA is a 6.6-in. × 2.7-in., low-profile board. The component height on the top and bottom of the
LSISAS9211-4i HBA is in accordance with the PCIe specifications.
Figure 4 LSISAS9211-4i Board Layout
 J1: PCIe x4-lane board edge connector
 J7: SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal, right-angle connector
 J3: 4-pin, right angle, 0.1-in. pitch, pin header for driving external activity LED
 J5: UART connection
3.1.4 LSISAS9211-8i HBA Characteristics
3.1.4.1 Memory
The LSISAS9211-8i HBA provides one 4-M × 8-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and BIOS. The LSISAS9211-8i HBA
can provide up to 32 K × 8-bit NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure occurs.
3.1.4.2 LEDs
The LSISAS9211-8i HBA has a 4-pin header for connection of activity LEDs. The 4-pin header connects to two LEDs (see
Table 10 ), which indicate SAS activity on Port 0 and Port 1.
3.1.4.3 Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSISAS9211-8i HBA. See Figure 5 for connector locations.
PCIe Connector (J1). The LSISAS9211-8i HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface connection is through
the edge connector, J1, which provides connections on both the top (J1B) and bottom (J1A) of the board. The signal
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
SAS/SATA Connectors (J7 and J8). The LSISAS9211-8i HBA supports SAS connections through connectors J7 and J8,
which are SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal, right-angle connectors.
