Preface This document is the user’s guide for the LSI Logic PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters. It contains a functional description of these host adapters as well as physical and electrical specifications. It also contains instructions for installing the host adapters and for connecting SAS devices.
2.0, and backwards compliant with previous versions of the PCI/PCI-X specifications. The host adapter is keyed for 3.3 V PCI/PCI-X add-in card slots. The LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters use either a standard PCI or a low-profile PCI bracket type. The host adapter SAS interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification, revision 1.0 and the Serial ATA Specification, revision 1.0a.
Features This section lists features of the LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters: • Supports narrow port and wide port as shown in Table 1.2. Table 1.2 SAS Bandwidths Half Duplex Full Duplex Narrow Port (1 Lane)—300 Mbytes/s Narrow Port (1 Lane)—600 Mbytes/s...
PCI Performance PCI features of the LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters include: • Supports a 133 MHz, 64-bit PCI/PCI-X interface that does the following: – Operates up to 133 MHz PCI-X – Operates at 33 MHz or 66 MHz PCI –...
– Thin and easy to develop drivers – Reduced integration and certification effort Software The LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters support all major operating systems, as shown in Table 1.3. Table 1.3 Software Support OS Support...
Chapter 3 Host Adapter Characteristics This chapter describes the characteristics of the LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters. The chapter includes these topics: • Section 3.1, “Characteristics of the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters” • Section 3.2, “Electrical and Environmental Specifications”...
3.1.1 LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL Host Adapters Characteristics The LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL are the same HBA with the exception of the PCI bracket. The LSISAS3041X uses a standard PCI bracket and the LSISAS3041XL uses the low-profile (LPPCI) PCI bracket. Figure 3.1 shows the HBAs and their brackets.
The LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL boards are 6.6 inches x 2.536 inches. PCI/PCI-X connection is made through the edge connector J1. The component height on the top and bottom of the LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL boards follows the PCI/PCI-X specifications. Characteristics of the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters Version 2.1...
