PCI/PCI-X specifications. The LSI PCIe to SAS products implement the PCI Express interface as a x4 or x8 interface. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters use either a standard PCI or a low- profile PCI bracket type. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapter SAS interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification,...

SAS/SATA functionality for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters. The controller chips connect channels directly to the SAS/SATA devices. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters provide a 2M x 8-bit Flash ROM for storing the BIOS and firmware. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters provide up to 32 K x 8-bit NVSRAM for storing the nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure happens.
128 devices. 3.1.1 LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL Host Adapters Characteristics The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL are the same HBA with the exception of the PCI bracket. The LSISAS3041E uses a standard PCI bracket and the LSISAS3041EL uses the low-profile (LPPCI) PCI bracket. 3.1.1.1...
LEDs 3.1.1.3 Physical Characteristics The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL boards are 6.6 inches x 2.713 inches. PCI Express x4 connection is made through the edge connector J1. The component height on the top and bottom of the LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL boards follows the PCI Express specifications.
Electrical and Environmental Specifications The design and implementation of the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters minimize electromagnetic emissions, susceptibility to radio frequency energy, and the effects of electrostatic discharge. The board carries the CE mark, C-Tick mark, Canadian Compliance Statement, Korean MIC, Taiwan BSMI, Japan VCCI, FCC Class B and is marked with the FCC Self-Certification logo.
Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% non-condensing 3.2.3 Safety Characteristics All LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters 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 PCI Express bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
