Introduction

This chapter describes the LSI Logic PCI Express to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host
adapters and consists of the following sections:

1.1

•

Section 1.1, “Overview”

•

Section 1.2, “Features”

•

Section 1.3, “PCI Performance”

•

Section 1.4, “Software”

Overview
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters provide four or eight serial ports for
connection to SAS/SATA (Serial ATA) devices. Each port is capable of
3.0 Gbit/s SAS link rates and 3.0 Gbit/s SATA link rates. The PCI Express
transmission and reception data rate is 2.5 Gbits/s in each direction,
yielding a total bandwidth of 5.0 Gbits/s for each full-duplex lane. The LSI
PCIe to SAS host adapters are implemented using four or eight PCI
Express phys, which provide possible host-side maximum transmission
and reception rates of up to 4.0 Gbytes/s.
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters contain Flash ROM for storing the
BIOS and firmware, and NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID
information. The LSISAS3442E, LSISAS3442EL, LSISAS3443E,
LSISAS3443EL, LSISAS3444E, LSISAS3444EL, LSISAS3800E,
LSISAS3801E, and LSISAS3801EL host adapters provide a 128 K x
36-bit PBSRAM memory device for storing SAS Address Port information
allowing for connection to more than 128 devices. The LEDs on the host
adapters report a heartbeat, activity, and fault conditions when detected
by firmware. Fusion-MPT™ firmware operates the host adapter.

PCIe to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters User’s Guide
Version 1.0

1-1

The PCI Express interface is compliant with the PCI Express
Specification, revision 1.0a. All PCI software is backwards compliant with
previous versions of the 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 lowprofile PCI bracket type. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapter SAS
interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification,
revision 1.0 and the Serial ATA Specification, revision 1.0a.
The functionality of LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters come from either the
LSISAS1064E controller chip or the LSISAS1068E controller chips. The
LSISAS1064E integrates four high-performance SAS/SATA phys and the
LSISAS1068E integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA phys. The
design of LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters makes it easy to add SAS
interfaces to any computer, workstation, or server with a PCI Express
bus.
Table 1.1 shows the LSI PCIe to SAS controllers and their associated
host adapters that support SAS/SATA devices. All board numbers contain
an “E” after the numeric portion of their name, indicating that they use
the PCI Express bus. Boards without an “L” after the numbers in their
name use a standard PCI bracket type. Boards with an “L” after the
numbers in their name use a low-profile PCI bracket type.

Chapter 3
Host Adapter Characteristics

This chapter describes the characteristics of the LSI PCIe to 3.0 Gbit/s
SAS host adapters. The chapter includes these topics:

3.1

•

Section 3.1, “Characteristics of the LSI PCIe to SAS Host Adapters”

•

Section 3.2, “Electrical and Environmental Specifications”

Characteristics of the LSI PCIe to SAS Host Adapters
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters use either the LSISAS1064E
controller or the LSISAS1068E controller. The LSISAS1064E controller
connects up to four SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the
PCI Express interface. The LSISAS1068E controller connects up to eight
SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the PCI Express
interface. The LSI controllers are implemented using either four
(LSISAS1064E) or eight (LSISAS1068E) PCI Express phys. Each phy

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. The board also meets the requirements of CISPR
Class B.

3.2.2

Thermal and Atmospheric Characteristics
The atmospheric characteristics for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters
are:

•

Temperature range: 0 ˚C to 60 ˚C (dry bulb)

•

Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% non-condensing

•

Maximum dew point temperature: 32 ˚C

The following parameters define the storage and transit environment for
the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters:

3.2.3

•

Temperature range: −45 ˚C to +105 ˚C (dry bulb)

•

Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% non-condensing

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.
