LSI SAS 9201-16i PCI Express to 6Gb/s SAS HBA User Guide Table of Contents August 2011 Table of Contents LSI SAS 9201-16i PCI Express to 6Gb/s SAS HBA User Guide............... . 4 1 Overview .
The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA is based on the Fusion-MPT™-architected LSI SAS 2116 controller that integrates the latest enhancements in PCIe 2.0 technology and 6Gb/s SAS technology. The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA has onboard Flash memory for the firmware and BIOS. The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA also includes onboard DDR-2 SDRAM.
LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA Characteristics Flash The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA has onboard Flash ROM for the firmware and BIOS. The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA provides one 4 M x 16-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and the BIOS.
PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe connection is through the edge connector, EC1, which provides connections on both the top (EC1B) and bottom (EC1A) of the board. The signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
Physical Characteristics The LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA is a 6.6-in. x 4.2-in. board. The component height on the top and bottom of the LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA is in accordance with the PCIe specification. The following figure shows the board connectors.
Safety Characteristics All LSI SAS 9201-16i 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.
