Characteristics of the LSI 6Gb/s HBAs
PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSISAS9208-8i HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface connection is through
the edge connector (EC1) which provides connections on both the top (EC1B) and bottom (EC1A) of the board. The
signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
SAS/SATA Connectors (J5 and J6). The LSISAS9208-8i HBA supports SAS/SATA connections through connectors J5
and J6, which are SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal connectors. The HBA supports SAS sideband signal assignments.
UART Connector (J1). The UART connector debug port requires a special cable and LSI support to gather detailed
IOC status.
3.1.13.4 Physical Characteristics
The LSISAS9208-8i HBA is a 6.0-in. × 2.7-in., low-profile board. The component height on the top and bottom of the
LSISAS9208-8i HBA is in accordance with the PCIe specification. The following figure shows the board layout.
