HBA Specifications

This appendix contains the specifications for the HBA.

This appendix contains the following topics:

Physical Dimensions

The HBA card size is as follows:

Height: 94.31mm (2.731 inches)

Length: 167.64mm (6.6 inches)

HBA Card Layout

The HBA controls eight internal SAS/SATA ports through two SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connectors. HBA Card Layout shows the jumpers and connectors on the HBA.

Fault Tolerance

Fault Tolerance Features lists the fault tolerance features for the HBA.

Table A-3 Fault Tolerance Features

Specification	HBA
Support for SMART The Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) detects up to 70 percent of all predictable drive failures. In a-ddition, SMART m-onitors the internal p-erformance of all motors, heads, and drive el-ectronics.	Yes
Optional battery backup for cache memory	LSIiBBU08 battery backup. <3.7V/1350mAH battery pack; up to 48 hours of data retention for 512 Mbytes
Drive failure detection	Automatic
Drive rebuild using hot spares	Automatic
Parity generation and checking	Yes

Electrical Characteristics

All power is supplied to the HBA through the PCI Express 3.3V rails and the 12V rail. Onboard switching regulator circuitry operating from the 3.3V rails and the 12V rail provide the necessary voltages. The following states determine the typical current consumption of the controller:

State 1: During a hard reset
State 2: During a disk stress test
State 3: While sitting idle at the DOS prompt

The supply voltages are 12V 8 percent (from PCI edge connector only) and 3.3V 9 percent (from PCI edge connector only). Power Supply for the HBA lists the power supply information for the controller for each of the three states at the different voltages.

Table A-4 Power Supply for the HBA

PCI Edge Connector	State 1	State 2	State 3
3.3V supply	330mA	330mA	330mA
+12V supply	1.00A	1.81A	1.53A
3.3V auxiliary supply	30mA	30mA	30mA

+12V is used in the charging circuitry for the battery pack on the optional iBBU battery-backed daughter card. If the iBBU daughter card is mounted, the following power consumption figures apply: During fast charging of the battery pack: 230mA in +12V current
