Overview
The LSI SAS 9201-16i, quad port, host bus adapter provides maximum connectivity and
performance for servers and appliances with internal storage. The LSI SAS 9201-16i provides
16 lanes of 6Gb/s SAS connectivity to 8 lanes of PCI Express 2.0. Performance is based on the
LSISAS2116 IO controller that highly integrates the latest enhancements in PCI Express and
SAS technology. The HBA supports up to 512 SAS or SATA devices.
The LSI SAS 9201-16i has four (x4) internal mini- SAS connectors (SFF8087) enabling a solution
which provide SAS and SATA data transfer rates of 1.5, 3 and 6Gb/s per lane through automatic
speed negotiation that can achieve over 430,000 IOPs. Enhanced features include T-10
Protection Information Model for early detection of and recovery from data corruption, and
Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for minimal EMI.
SAS Leadership
LSI offers the broadest SAS product portfolio in the industry with true end-to-end solutions
including controllers, expanders, active-active multiplexers, ROCs, host bus adapters, RAID
solutions, and external storage. LSI’s proven SAS core has completed extensive stress and
interoperability testing resulting in the industry’s most robust, interoperable solution.
LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology to systems throughout the world for over
seven generations, making LSI the most experienced enabler of serial interconnect for storage
in the world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI adapter is providing the most advanced

Fusion MPT Architecture
The LSI SAS host bus adapters are based on the Fusion MPT™ architected SAS controllers,
which implements LSI’s Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture. Each
controller features embedded PowerPC™ processors that deliver maximum host CPU offload.
The built-in intelligence enables LSI to publish a single binary OS driver to operate any Fusion
MPT controller or adapter. The architecture enables high performance, reduced software
development, and faster time to market.
