Thank you for purchasing the LSI™ MegaRAID® 6Gb/s SAS 9265-8i RAID controller. Your

topic covered in this guide, refer to the related documents on your MegaRAID Universal
Software Suite CD.
Product Overview The MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i RAID controller is a PCI-Express, low-profile RAID controller
that offers a 6 Gb/s transfer rate. It controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two

TMM02 unit connects remotely to the LSI intelligent Battery Backup Unit 09
(LSIiBBU09). For more information about the LSIiBBU09 unit, refer to the MegaRAID
