PCIe to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters User’s Guide 1-1

Chapter 1

Introduction

This chapter describes the LSI Logic PCI Express to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host

adapters and consists of the following sections:

•Section 1.1, “Overview”

•Section 1.2, “Features”

•Section 1.3, “PCI Performance”

•Section 1.4, “Software”

1.1 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.

1-2 Introduction

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 low-

proﬁle 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.

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:

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

•Section 3.2, “Electrical and Environmental Speciﬁcations”

3.1 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

operates at 2.5 Gbits/s which provide possible host-side maximum

transmission and reception rates of up to 4.0 Gbytes/s.

The LSISAS1064E and the LSISAS1068E controller chips contain the

PCI Express functionality for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters. The

controller chip connects directly to the PCI Express bus and generates

timing and protocol in compliance with the PCI Express speciﬁcation.

The LSISAS1064E and the LSISAS1068E controller chips contain the

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. The LSISAS3442E,

3-2 Host Adapter Characteristics

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.

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. Figure 3.1 shows the HBAs and their brackets.

3.1.1.1 LEDs

The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL host adapters have four LEDs,

labeled A0–A3, that turn green to indicate an activity condition on any of

the eight phys. There are eight LEDs, labeled LNP0–LNP3, that turn

yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the eight phys. See

Figure 3.1 for LED locations.

The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL host adapters have two light
