LSISAS9207-8e HBA Characteristics
The LSISAS9207-8e HBA supports active copper cable and passive copper cable.
3.1.11.1
Memory
The LSISAS9207-8e HBA provides one 4 M × 16-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and BIOS.
3.1.11.2
LED
The LSISAS9207-8e HBA heartbeat LED, CR1, blinks green to indicate that the HBA is capable of general activity.

Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSISAS9207-8e HBA. See
PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSISAS9207-8e 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 specification.
SAS/SATA Connectors (J10 and J11). The LSISAS9207-8e HBA supports SAS/SATA connections through connectors
J10 and J11, which are SFF-8088 mini-SAS, external, right-angle connectors.
UART Connector (J4).The UART connector debug port requires a special cable and LSI support to gather detailed
IOC status.
