Chapter 2
Functional Description
This chapter provides a subsystem level overview of the LSISAS1068, a
discussion of the Fusion-MPT architecture, and a functional description
of the LSISAS1068 interfaces. This chapter contains the following
sections:
The LSISAS1068 is an eight-port, 3.0 Gbit/s SAS controller that is
compliant with the Fusion-MPT architecture, provides a PCI-X interface,
and supports the Integrated RAID solution. The LSISAS1068 supports
revision 3.0 of the PCI Local Bus Specification, revision 2.0 of the PCI-
X Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification, revision 1.0 of the ANSI
Serial Attached SCSI standard, and revision 1.0a of the Serial ATA
standard.
The LSISAS1068 employs the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT architecture to
ensure robust system performance, to provide binary compatibility of
host software between the LSI Logic SAS/SATA, SCSI, and Fibre
Channel products, and to significantly reduce software development time.
Refer to the Fusion-MPT Device Management User’s Guide for more
information on the Fusion-MPT architecture.
