Characteristics of the LSI 6Gb/s HBAs
3.1.16.4 Physical Characteristics
The LSISAS9218-8i HBA is a 6.0-in. × 2.7-in., low-profile board. The component height on the top and bottom of the
LSISAS9218-8i HBA is in accordance with the PCIe specification. The following figure shows the board layout.

 EC1: PCIe x8-lane board edge connector
 J5, J6: SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal connectors
 CR1: Heartbeat LED
 J1: UART connection
3.1.17 LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA Characteristics
3.1.17.1 Memory
The LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA provides one 4-M × 16-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and BIOS. The
LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA can provide up to 32 K × 8-bit NVSRAM for storing the nonvolatile RAID information when a
system failure occurs.
3.1.17.2 LED
The LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA heartbeat LED, CR1, blinks green to indicate that the HBA is capable of general activity.
3.1.17.3 Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA. See Figure 18 for connector locations.
PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSISAS9217-4i4e 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 Connector (J6 and J7). The LSISAS9217-4i4e HBA supports SAS connections through connector J6, which is an
SFF-8088 mini-SAS, external, right-angle connector, and connector J7 which is an SFF-8087 internal mini-SAS
connector. The HBA supports SAS sideband signal assignments.
