NOTE:
The shape, size, and locations of the components on your HBA and its bracket might vary
from this illustration. The HBA requires a x8 PCIe slot.
6.
Secure the HBA bracket to the system’s chassis. Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or
engage the system retention mechanism to secure the HBA to the system’s chassis.
7.
Connect internal SAS cables between the HBA and the SAS backplane or any other
SATA or SAS device. The LSISAS9211-4i has one internal x4 mini-SAS connector that connects to
four 6Gb/s SAS ports. Use the appropriate cable to connect the HBA to SAS or SATA storage
devices.
For connection to internal drives or backplanes, use an internal cable with a standard mini-SAS
connector (SFF-8087) on the controller side of the cable. The other end of the cable may fan out
into four SAS-style cables for direct connection to SAS or SATA disk drives. The previous figure
illustrates the connector locations on the LSISAS9211-4i and the use of a controller-based, fan-out
cable to connect to drives that require a SAS-style signal connector.
8.
Replace the cover of the chassis.
9.
Reconnect any power cords, and power up the system. Reconnect any power cords and
reconnect any network cables. Turn on the power.
The hardware installation of your LSI 6Gb/s SAS HBA is complete.
