Characteristics of the LSI 6Gb/s HBAs
3.1.7.4 Physical Characteristics
The LSISAS9201-16e HBA is 6.6-in. × 4.2-in. The component height on the top and bottom of the LSISAS9201-16e HBA
is in accordance with the PCIe specification.
Figure 8 LSISAS9201-16e Board Layout
 EC1: PCIe x8-lane board edge connector
 J6, J7, J8, J9: SFF-8088 mini-SAS, external, right-angle connectors
 J3 and J4: 4-pin, right angle, 0.1-in. pitch, pin header for driving external activity LED
 J5: UART connection
3.1.8 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 Figure 9 for connector locations.
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.
