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 3008 controller that integrates the latest enhancements in PCIe 3.0 technology and 12Gb/s SAS technology.
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.
Physical Characteristics The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is a 6.0-in. × 2.7-in., low-profile board. The component height on the top and bottom of the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is in accordance with the PCIe specification. The following figure shows the HBA board layout.
LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA Certifications and Safety Characteristics All LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBAs meet or exceed the requirements of UL flammability rating 94V-0. Each bare board is marked with the supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Because these boards are installed in a PCIe bus slot, all voltages are less than the SELV 42.4-V limit.
