LEDs:
The Intel® RAID Controller SASUC8I host adapter has eight LEDs, labeled A0–A7, that turn green to indicate an activity condition on any of the eight phys. There are eight LEDs, labeled LNP0–LNP7, that turn yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the eight phys. See the figure below for LED locations.
The SASUC8I host adapter has 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 LSI 1064E SAS* controller heartbeat, or it turns yellow when the LSI 1064E SAS* controller firmware detects a fault condition.
Connectors:
This section provides a description of the four different connectors on the SASUC8I host adapter has. See the figure below for connector locations.
PCI Express Connector (J1) – The PCI Express interface has eight PCI Express phys, which provide possible host-side maximum transmission and reception rates of up to 4.0 Gbytes/s. The SASUC8I supports x8, x4, and x1 PCI Express link widths, and automatically downshifts if plugged into either a x4 connector or into a x8 connector that is wired as a x4 connector. The PCI Express connection is made through the edge connector J1. The signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Express specifications.
SAS/SATA Connectors (J2 and J5) – The SASUC8I supports SAS connections through connectors J2 and J5.
The J2 and J5 connectors are SFF-8087 mini-SAS internal right-angle connectors.
Activity LED Header (J6) – 4-pin, right angle, 0.1-inch pitch, pin header for driving external activity LEDs.
