LSI SAS Broadcom 9300-8e HBA Characteristics
Memory
The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA provides one 4-M × 16-bit Flash ROM to store the firmware and the BIOS.
LED
The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA Heartbeat LED, CR1, blinks green to indicate the HBA is capable of general activity.
Connectors
- PCIe Connector (EC1). The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA supports a x8 interface. The PCIe host interface connection is through
the edge connector, EC1, which provides connections on both the top (EC1 B) and bottom (EC1 A) of the board. The
signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCIe specification. - SATA+SAS Connector (J6). The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA supports SATA and SAS connectors through connectors that are
SFF-8644 mini-SAS HD, external connectors.
