October 2014

Operating System Support

The LSI SAS 2004 controller chip JTAG signals are not connected to the corresponding signals in the PCIe connector.

The following table shows the LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA 5Gb/s PCIe performance.

3.2 SATA and SAS

The LSI SAS 2004 controller chip contains the SATA+SAS functionality for the LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA. The following table

shows the LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA 6 Gb/s SAS performance.

The LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA has onboard Flash ROM for the firmware and BIOS. The LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA provides one

4-M x 8-bit Flash ROM for storing the firmware and BIOS.

5.2 Connectors

This section describes the different connectors on the LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA. See Figure 1 for connector locations.

PCIe Connector (J1). The LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA supports a x4 interface. The PCIe connection is through the edge

connector, J1, which provides connections on both the top (J1B) and bottom (J1A) of the board. The signal definitions

and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.

SATA+SAS Connector (J7). The LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA supports SATA and SAS connections through connector J7, an

SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal, right-angle connector.
