Overview

The LSI SAS 9200-8e, dual port, host bus adapter provides high performance connectivity for

external JBOD and external RAID enclosures. The LSI SAS 9200-8e provides 8 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS

connectivity to 8 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 5Gb/s performance to eliminate bottlenecks. Performance

is based on the LSISAS2008 IO controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI

Express and SAS technology. The HBA supports up to 512 SAS 2.0 compliant devices.

The LSI SAS 9200-8e has two (x4) external mini- SAS connectors (SFF8088) enabling a low prole

solution that can achieve over 320,000 IOPs. Automatic speed negotiation for SAS and SATA data

transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane assures legacy compatibility while new systems can

benet from T-10 Protection Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data

corruption, and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.

SAS Leadership

Product Brief

LSI oers the broadest SAS product portfolio in the industry with true end-to-end solutions

including controllers, expanders, active-active multiplexers, ROCs, host bus adapters, RAID solutions,

and external storage. LSI’s proven SAS core has completed extensive stress and interoperability

testing resulting in the industry’s most robust, interoperable solution.

LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology to systems throughout the world for over seven

generations, making LSI the most experienced enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the

world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI adapter is providing the most advanced and robust

serial technology available.

Fusion MPT Architecture

The LSI SAS host bus adapters are based on the Fusion MPT™ architected SAS controllers, which

implements LSI’s Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture. Each controller features

embedded PowerPC™ processors that deliver maximum host CPU ooad. The builtin intelligence

enables LSI to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion MPT controller or adapter. The

architecture enables high performance, reduced software development, and faster time to market.
