LSI 9300-4i PCI Express to 12Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Host Bus Adapter
CONDITION:NEW
Overview The LSI PCI Express(PCIe® )-to-Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter (HBA), referred to as the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA, provides high-performance internal storage connectivity for servers and workstations. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA provides four lanes of 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and is matched with eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 8Gb/s performance. The low-profile design of the SAS HBA includes a full-height bracket and low-profile mounting bracket that create a universal fit for any server. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is based on the Fusion-MPT™-architected LSI SAS 3004 controller that integrates the latest enhancements in PCIe 3.0 technology and 12Gb/s SAS technology. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA has onboard Flash memory for the firmware. 2 Features This section lists the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA features. Implements one LSI SAS 3004 four-port 12Gb/s SAS to PCIe 3.0 controller Supports eight-lane, full-duplex PCIe 3.0 performance Supports SATA link rates of 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s Supports SAS link rates of 3Gb/s, 6Gb/s, and 12Gb/s Provides one x4 internal mini-SAS HD connector (SFF-8643) Supports passive copper cable, active copper cable, and optical cable Can upgrade to support Integrated RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 1E) Supports up to 1024 SATA or SAS end devices Offered with a full-height bracket and a low-profile vented bracket Provides one heartbeat LED 3 Functional Descriptions 3.1 PCI Express Interface PCIe is a high-speed standard local bus for point-to-point interfacing of I/O components to the processor and the memory subsystems in high-end computers and servers. The LSI SAS 3004 controller chip contains the PCIe functionality for the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA. The LSI SAS 3004 controller chip connects to the PCIe bus and generates timing and protocol in compliance with the PCIe specifications. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA supports eight-lane PCIe performance up to 64Gb/s single direction

SAS-3 Interface The LSI SAS 3004 controller chip contains the SATA+SAS functionality for the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA. The following table shows the LSI SAS 12Gb/s SAS performance. 3.3 LED Management The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA offers LED management support for your backplane implementation. This configuration option lets you use the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA with backplanes configured for the SGPIO interface. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is in accordance with SFF-8485: Specification for Serial GPIO (SGPIO) Bus, Revision 0.7
LSI SAS 9300-4i HBA Characteristics 5.1 Memory The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA provides one 4-M × 16-bit Flash ROM to store the firmware and the BIOS. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA can provide up to 32 K × 8-bit NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure occurs or to reflash the board to run IR firmware. 5.2 LED The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA Heartbeat LED, CR1, blinks green to indicate the HBA is capable of general activity.
