5.3

Connectors

This section describes the different connectors on the LSI SAS 9207-8i HBA.

 

PCIe Connector (EC1).  

The LSI SAS 9207-8i HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe connection

 

is

 

through the edge 

connector (EC1), which provides connections on both the top (EC1B) and bottom (EC1A) of the board. The signal 
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification.

SAS Connectors (J5 and J6).  

The LSI SAS 9207-8i HBA supports SAS connections through connectors J5 and J6, 

which are SFF-8087 mini-SAS, internal connectors. The HBA supports SAS sideband signal assignments.
