1.1 Overview
The LSI PCIe to SAS 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 Express
transmission and reception data rate is 2.5 Gbits/s in each direction,
yielding a total bandwidth of 5.0 Gbits/s for each full-duplex lane. The LSI
PCIe to SAS host adapters are implemented using four or eight PCI
Express phys, which provide possible host-side maximum transmission
and reception rates of up to 4.0 Gbytes/s.
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters contain Flash ROM for storing the
BIOS and firmware, and NVSRAM for storing nonvolatile RAID
information. The LSISAS3442E, LSISAS3442EL, LSISAS3443E,
LSISAS3443EL, LSISAS3444E, LSISAS3444EL, LSISAS3800E,
LSISAS3801E, and LSISAS3801EL host adapters provide a 128 K x
36-bit PBSRAM memory device for storing SAS Address Port information
allowing for connection to more than 128 devices. The LEDs on the host
adapters report a heartbeat, activity, and fault conditions when detected
by firmware. Fusion-MPT™ firmware operates the host adapter.

The PCI Express interface is compliant with the PCI Express
Specification, revision 1.0a. All PCI software is backwards compliant with
previous versions of the PCI/PCI-X specifications. The LSI PCIe to SAS
products implement the PCI Express interface as a x4 or x8 interface.
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters use either a standard PCI or a low-
profile PCI bracket type. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapter SAS
interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification,
revision 1.0 and the Serial ATA Specification, revision 1.0a.
The functionality of LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters come from either the
LSISAS1064E controller chip or the LSISAS1068E controller chips. The
LSISAS1068E integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA phys. The
design of LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters makes it easy to add SAS
interfaces to any computer, workstation, or server with a PCI Express
bus.
Table 1.1 shows the LSI PCIe to SAS controllers and their associated
host adapters that support SAS/SATA devices. All board numbers contain
an “E” after the numeric portion of their name, indicating that they use
the PCI Express bus. Boards without an “L” after the numbers in their
name use a standard PCI bracket type. Boards with an “L” after the
numbers in their name use a low-profile PCI bracket type.

Chapter 3
Host Adapter Characteristics
This chapter describes the characteristics of the LSI PCIe to 3.0 Gbit/s
SAS host adapters. The chapter includes these topics:
•
•
Section 3.1, “Characteristics of the LSI PCIe to SAS Host Adapters”
Section 3.2, “Electrical and Environmental Specifications”
3.1 Characteristics of the LSI PCIe to SAS Host Adapters
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters use either the LSISAS1064E
controller or the LSISAS1068E controller. The LSISAS1064E controller
connects up to four SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the
PCI Express interface. The LSISAS1068E controller connects up to eight
SAS/SATA devices to a computer system through the PCI Express
interface. The LSI controllers are implemented using either four
(LSISAS1064E) or eight (LSISAS1068E) PCI Express phys. Each phy
operates at 2.5 Gbits/s which provide possible host-side maximum
transmission and reception rates of up to 4.0 Gbytes/s.
The LSISAS1064E and the LSISAS1068E controller chips contain the
PCI Express functionality for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters. The
controller chip connects directly to the PCI Express bus and generates
timing and protocol in compliance with the PCI Express specification.
The LSISAS1064E and the LSISAS1068E controller chips contain the
SAS/SATA functionality for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters. The
controller chips connect channels directly to the SAS/SATA devices.
The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters provide a 2M x 8-bit Flash ROM for
storing the BIOS and firmware. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters
provide up to 32 K x 8-bit NVSRAM for storing the nonvolatile RAID
information when a system failure happens. The LSISAS3442E,

LSISAS3442EL, LSISAS3443E, LSISAS3443EL, LSISAS3444E,
LSISAS3444EL, LSISAS3800E, LSISAS3801E, and LSISAS3801EL
host adapters provide a 128 K x 36-bit PBSRAM memory device for
storing SAS Address Port information allowing for connection to more
than 128 devices.
3.1.1 LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL Host Adapters Characteristics
The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL are the same HBA with the
exception of the PCI bracket. The LSISAS3041E uses a standard PCI
bracket and the LSISAS3041EL uses the low-profile (LPPCI) PCI
bracket. Figure 3.1 shows the HBAs and their brackets.
3.1.1.1
LEDs
The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL host adapters have four LEDs,
labeled A0–A3, that turn green to indicate an activity condition on any of
the eight phys. There are eight LEDs, labeled LNP0–LNP3, that turn
yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the eight phys. See
Figure 3.1 for LED locations.
The LSISAS3041E and LSISAS3041EL 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 LSISAS1064E heartbeat, or it turns yellow when the
LSISAS1064E firmware detects a fault condition.
3.1.1.2
Connectors
This section provides a description of the five different connectors on the

3.2.2 Thermal and Atmospheric Characteristics
The atmospheric characteristics for the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters
are:
•
•
•
Temperature range: 0 ˚C to 60 ˚C (dry bulb)
Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% non-condensing
Maximum dew point temperature: 32 ˚C
The following parameters define the storage and transit environment for
the LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters:
•
•
Temperature range: −45 ˚C to +105 ˚C (dry bulb)
Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% non-condensing
3.2.3 Safety Characteristics
All LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters meet or exceed the requirements of
UL flammability rating 94V-0. Each bare board is marked with the
supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Because
these boards are installed in a PCI Express bus slot, all voltages are
below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
