Card Layout for the Thinksystem RAID 940-8i 4GB Flash PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter 

The following table describes the headers and connectors on the adapter. 

Table 2 

Headers and Connectors 

Connector  Type 

Description 

J2 

Standard edge card connector 

The interface between the storage adapter and the host system. 
With the PCIe interface, this connector provides power to the board and an I

2

C 

interface connected to the I

2

C bus for the Intelligent Platform Management 

Interface (IPMI). 

J4  

Default serial boot ROM (SBR) header  2-pin connector. Reserved. 

J7 

Advanced software options hardware 

key header 

2-pin connector. 
Enables support for selected advanced features. 

J8 

  On-board serial UART connector 

4-pin connector. Reserved. 

J10 

Global HDD activity LED header 

2-pin connector. 
Connects to an LED that indicates activity on the drives connected to the adapter. 

J11 

Global drive fault LED header 

2-pin connector. 
Connects to an LED that indicates whether a drive is in a fault condition. 

J14 

CacheVault power module interface 

9-pin connector. 
Connects the adapter to a CacheVault power module. 

J17 (C0)  Storage interface connector 

One SFF-8654 8-port internal connector. 
Connect the adapter by cable to the storage devices. 

The following table describes the LEDs on the adapter. 

Table 3 

LED Designations 

LED  Type 

Description 

LED 2  Yellow controller over temperature  Stays on solid to indicate that the SAS3908 device temperature sensor is over the 

temperature threshold. When the device is in the proper temperature range, this LED is off. 

LED 3  Green system heartbeat 

Indicates that the SAS3908 RoC ASIC is operating normally. This LED blinks at 1 Hz. 

LED 5  Yellow supercap fault 

Indicates that the CacheVault power module is in fault state or is over temperature.  

LED 6  Green Open NAND Flash Interface 

(ONFI) activity 

Indicates when the ONFI is active for cache offload or recovery. This LED resides on the 

nonheat-sink side of the board.
