1.5 SAS 9305-16i HBA Characteristics
1.5.1

Memory

The 12Gb/s SAS HBA provides one a128Mb Flash ROM to store the firmware and the BIOS.
1.5.2

LEDs

The 12Gb/s SAS HBA has a Heartbeat LED (LT14) that blinks green to indicate that the HBA is capable of general activity,
and a thermal event LED (LT10) that illuminates if the IOC experiences an over-temperature condition.
1.5.3

Connectors

UART Connectors (JT1). The UART connector debug port requires a special cable and Avago support to gather
detailed IOC status. The UART connector uses the following layout.

Pin
1 UART0_TX
2 Gnd
3 UART0_RX
4 1.8 V
SATA+SAS Connector (JT4). The 12Gb/s SAS HBA supports SATA devices and SAS devices through SFF-8643 mini-SAS
HD internal connectors.
SBR Recovery (JT8). This port enables recovery of corrupted SBR files. Avago support can assist with this process.
PCIe Connector (JT9). The 12Gb/s SAS HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface connection is through the
edge connector, JT9, which provides connections on both the top (JT9 B) and bottom (JT9 A) of the board. The signal
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
LED Indicator (LT10). Temperature LED.
