LSISAS9201-16i HBA Characteristics

3.1.8.1 Memory
The LSISAS9201-16i HBA provides one 2-M × 16-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and BIOS, and provides
onboard DDR2 SDRAM.
3.1.8.2 LEDs
The LSISAS9201-16i HBA has two 4-pin headers for connection of activity LEDs. The LEDs on header J4 correspond to
activity on ports C and D, and header J5 corresponds to activity on Port A and Port B.
3.1.8.3 Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSISAS9201-16i HBA. See
PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSISAS9201-16i HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface 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 specifications.
SAS/SATA Connector (J6, J7, J8, J9). The LSISAS9201-16i HBA supports SAS connections through four external
connectors: J6, J7, J8, and J9, which are SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal, right-angle connectors.
