The functionality of these host adapters comes from either the
LSISAS1064 controller chip or the LSISAS1068 controller chip. The
LSISAS1064 integrates four high-performance SAS/SATA phys and a
64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X bus master DMA core. The LSISAS1068
integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA phys and a 64-bit, 133 MHz
PCI-X bus master DMA core. The design of these host adapters make it
easy to add SAS interfaces to any computer, workstation, or server with
a PCI/PCI-X bus.
Table 1.1 shows the LSI SAS controllers and their associated host
adapters that support SAS/SATA devices. Boards without an “L” after the
number in their name use a standard PCI bracket type. Boards with an
“L” after the number in their name use a low-profile PCI bracket type.
