Chapter 1 Introduction

This chapter describes the LSI Logic PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host adapters and consists of the following sections:

• Section 1.1, “Overview”

• Section 1.2, “Features”

• Section 1.3, “PCI Performance”

• Section 1.4, “Software”

1.1 Overview

The LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s Serial Attached SCSI host adapters provide four or eight serial ports for connection to SAS/SATA (Serial ATA) devices. Each port is capable of 3.0 Gbit/s SAS link rates and 3.0 Gbit/s SATA link rates. The PCI-X interface operates as a zero wait state bus master with data bursts up to 1064 Mbytes/s on a 64-bit PCI-X 133 MHz bus.

These LSI host adapters contain Flash ROM for storing the BIOS and firmware, and NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID information. The LEDs on the host adapters report a heartbeat and activity and fault conditions when detected by firmware. Fusion-MPT™ firmware operates the host adapter.

The PCI/PCI-X interface is compliant with the PCI-X Specification, revision 2.0, and backwards compliant with previous versions of the PCI/PCI-X specifications. The host adapter is keyed for 3.3 V PCI/PCI-X add-in card slots. The LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters use either a standard PCI or a low-profile PCI bracket type. The host adapter SAS interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI

Specification, revision 1.0 and the Serial ATA Specification, revision 1.0a.

PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters User’s Guide 1-1

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.

Ta bl e 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.

Chapter 3 Host Adapter Characteristics

This chapter describes the characteristics of the LSI PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters. The chapter includes these topics:

• Section 3.1, “Characteristics of the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host

Adapters”

• Section 3.2, “Electrical and Environmental Specifications”

3.1 Characteristics of the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters

The PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters use either the LSISAS1064 controller or the LSISAS1068 controller. The LSISAS1064 controller connects up to four SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the PCI/PCI-X interface. The LSISAS1068 controller connects up to eight SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the PCI/PCI-X interface. In both cases, the use of LSI expanders provides substantially more connectivity. The LSISAS1064 and the LSISAS1068 support a 133 MHz, 64-bit PCI-X bus and are backwards compatible with revisions of the PCI/PCI-X bus.

The LSISAS1064 and the LSISAS1068 controller chips contain the PCI/PCI-X functionality for the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters. The controller chip connects directly to the PCI/PCI-X bus and generates timing and protocol in compliance with the PCI and PCI-X specifications.

The LSISAS1064 and the LSISAS1068 controller chips contain the SAS/SATA functionality for the PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters. The controller chips connect channels directly to the SAS/SATA devices.

The PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters provide up to 2 M x 8-bit Flash ROM for storing the configuration settings, as well as the BIOS and

PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS Host Adapters User’s Guide 3-1

firmware. The PCI-X to 3.0 Gbit/s SAS host adapters provide up to 32 K x 8-bit of a NVSRAM device for storing the nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure happens.

3.1.1 LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL Host Adapters Characteristics

The LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL are the same HBA with the exception of the PCI bracket. The LSISAS3041X uses a standard PCI bracket and the LSISAS3041XL uses the low-profile (LPPCI) PCI bracket. Figure 3.1 shows the HBAs and their brackets.

3.1.1.1 LEDs

The LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL host adapters have four LEDs that turn green to indicate an activity condition on any of the four phys. There are four LEDs that turn yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the four phys. See Figure 3.1 for LED locations. There is one LED that flashes green to indicate the LSISAS1064 heartbeat.

3.1.1.2 Connectors

This section provides a description of the five different connectors on the LSISAS3041X and LSISAS3041XL host adapters. See Figure 3.1 for connector locations.

PCI/PCI-X Connector (J1) – The PCI/PCI-X interface operates as a 32-bit or 64-bit DMA bus master. The connection is made through the edge connector J1, which is a +3.3 V type board edge connector. The signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI/PCI-X specifications.

SAS/SATA Connectors (J2–J5) – The LSISAS3041X supports SAS/SATA connections through connectors J2, J3, J4, and J5. These connectors are SATA internal right-angle connectors.

3.1.2 LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL Host Adapters Characteristics

The LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL are the same HBA with the exception of the PCI bracket. The LSISAS3442X uses a standard PCI bracket and the LSISAS3442XL uses a low-profile (LPPCI) PCI bracket.

Figure 3.2 shows the HBAs and their brackets.

3.1.2.1 LEDs

The LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL host adapters have eight LEDs that turn green to indicate an activity condition on any of the eight phys. There are eight LEDs that turn yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the eight phys. See Figure 3.2 for LED locations.

The LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL host adapters have two light pipes routed through the PCI bracket. One light pipe turns green to indicate activity on any phy. The other light pipe is bi-color. It flashes green to indicate the LSISAS1068 heartbeat, or it turns yellow when the LSISAS1068 firmware detects a fault condition.

3.1.2.2 Connectors

This section provides a description of the three different connectors on the LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL host adapters. See Figure 3.2 for connector locations.

SAS/SATA Connectors (J2 and J5) – The LSISAS3442X and LSISAS3442XL support SAS connections through connectors J2 and J5. The J5 connector is an SFF-8484 SAS internal right-angle connector with four sideband lines. The J2 connector is an SFF-8470 SAS external right-angle connector.

J5 contains four Serial General Purpose Input Output (SGPIO) signals. SGPIO is a method to serialize general-purpose IO signals. SGPIO defines the communication between an initiator (for example, a host bus adapter) and a target (for example, a backplane holding disk drives). The

3-4 Host Adapter Characteristics

target typically converts the output signals into multiple parallel LED signals and provides the input signals from general-purpose inputs. The SGPIO signals are SCLOCK on pin 14, SLOAD on pin 15, SDATAOUT on pin 18, and SDATAIN on pin 19.

3.1.3.1 LEDs

The LSISAS3080X and LSISAS3080XL host adapters have two light pipes routed through the PCI bracket. One light pipe turns green to indicate activity on any phy. The other light pipe is bi-color. It flashes green to indicate the LSISAS1068 heartbeat, or it turns yellow when the LSISAS1068 firmware detects a fault condition.

3.1.3.2 Connectors

This section provides a description of the three different connectors on the LSISAS3080X and LSISAS3080XL host adapters. See Figure 3.3 for connector locations.

SAS/SATA Connectors (J2 and J5) – The LSISAS3080X and LSISAS3080XL support SAS/SATA connections through connectors J2 and J5. The J2 and J5 connectors are SFF-8484 SAS internal right-angle connectors with four sideband lines.

J2 and J5 contain four Serial General Purpose Input Output (SGPIO) signals. SGPIO is a method to serialize general-purpose IO signals. SGPIO defines the communication between an initiator (for example, a host bus adapter) and a target (for example, a backplane holding disk drives). The target typically converts the output signals into multiple parallel LED signals and provides the input signals from general-purpose inputs. The SGPIO signals are SCLOCK on pin 14, SLOAD on pin 15, SDATAOUT on pin 18, and SDATAIN on pin 19.
