MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP/SAS 8208ELP RAID Controllers

The MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP PCI Express Low-Profile Disk Array RAID
Controller controls four internal SAS or SATA ports through one mini SAS
4i internal connector.

The MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP PCI Express Low-Profile Disk Array RAID
Controller controls eight internal SAS ports or SATA ports through two
mini SAS 4i internal connectors.

Note:

The SAS 8204ELP RAID controller does not contain the J6
(ports 4–7) connector. The missing J6 connector is the only
difference between the SAS 8204ELP RAID controller, and
the SAS 8208ELP RAID controller.

This subsection provides the board layout, and connector and jumper
information for the SAS 8204ELP RAID controller, and the SAS 8208ELP
RAID controller.

Figure 3.1

shows the jumpers and the connectors on the

controller, and

Table 3.1

describes them.
