LSISAS9206-16e HBA Characteristics

The LSISAS9206-16e HBA supports active and passive copper cables, and optical cable.
3.1.16.1 Memory
The LSISAS9206-16e HBA provides two 4-M × 16-bit Flash ROMs for storing the firmware and BIOS.
3.1.16.2 LED
The two LSISAS9206-16e HBA heartbeat LEDs, CR4B1 and CR5B1, blink green to indicate that the HBA is capable of
general activity.
3.1.16.3 Connectors
This section describes the different connectors on the LSISAS9206-16e HBA. See
PCIe Connector (J2B1). The LSISAS9206-16e HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface connection is
through the edge connector (J2B1) which provides connections on both the top and bottom of the board. The signal
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.
SAS Connectors (J1A2). The LSISAS9206-16e HBA supports SAS/SATA connections through J1A2 Port 0, Port 1,
Port 2, and Port 3, which are SFF-8644 mini-SAS HD, external, right-angle connectors.
