Overview
The LSI SAS 9202-16e, quad port, host bus adapter provides high performance for high end
servers and high performance storage applications. The LSI SAS 9202-16e provides 16 lanes
of 6Gb/s SAS matched with 16 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 5Gb/s performance to eliminate
bottlenecks. Internal performance is based on dual LSISAS2008 IO controllers that highly
integrate the latest enhancements in PCI Express and SATA technology and supports up to
1024 SAS or SATA devices.
The LSI SAS 9202-16e has four (x4) external HD mini SAS connectors (SFF8644) enabling a low
profile 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 700,000 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 solu-
tions, and external storage. LSI’s proven SAS core has completed extensive stress and interoper-
ability 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 and

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.
