Introduction
The LSISAS1068 is an eight-port, 3.0 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller that is
compliant with the Fusion-MPT
interface, and supports the Integrated RAID
contains the following sections:
The LSISAS1068 controller brings 3.0 Gbit/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
performance to host adapter, workstation, and server designs, making it
easy to add a SAS interface to any PCI or PCI-X
LSISAS1068 integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA phys and a
64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X bus master DMA core. Each of the eight phys on
the LSISAS1068 is capable of 3.0 Gbit/s and 1.5 Gbit/s SAS link rates,
and 3.0 Gbit/s and 1.5 Gbit/s SATA link rates. The LSISAS1068 supports
the SAS protocol as described in the Serial Attached SCSI Standard,
version 1.0, as well as SAS 1.1 features, such as support for the
BROADCAST (SES) primitive and support for SATA port selectors. The
controller also supports the Serial ATA (SATA) protocol defined by the
LSISAS1068 PCI-X to 8-Port Serial Attached SCSI/SATA Controller
