Type

Description

J5A1

Board-to-Board Mezzanine connector

240-pin 01 nonvolatile memory module interface

Connects the controller directly to a CVFM01 module. The
CVFM01 module connects to a remote CVPM01 module.

Refer to the MegaRAID SAS 9260CV-4i and SAS 9260CV-8i RAID
Controllers Quick Installation Guide
for the procedure used to
connect a CVFM01 module to a remote CVPM01 module.

JT1A1

LED Locate and Fault Indication header

Ports 0 to 3

Ports 4 to 7

2x8-pin header

Connects to an LED array that indicates whether a drive is in
a fault condition. There is one LED per port. When lit, each
LED indicates the corresponding drive has failed or is in the
Unconfigured-Bad state.

The LEDs function in a direct-attach configuration (there are
no SAS expanders). Direct attach is defined as a maximum of
one drive connected directly to each port.

NOTE The MegaRAID SAS 9260CV-4i RAID controller does
not contain the JT2B1 connector, which supports ports 4 to 7.

JT1A2

LSI Internal Use header

Reserved for LSI internal use.

JT1A3

SBR Firmware Recovery header

2-pin header

The SBR FW recovery header is used when SBR corruption is
suspected. Installing the jumper lets the unit boot while
bypassing the SBR information. You can then reprogram the
SEEPROM using external utility software. No jumper is
present for normal operation.

JT1A4

Serial UART header

Reserved for LSI internal use.

JT1B1

SEP Enclosure Support header

3-pin header

Used for connection to the Port0 enclosure.

JT1B2

Advanced Software Options Hardware Key header

2-pin header

Enables support for the Advanced Software Options
features, which include CacheCade, FastPath, Recovery, and
SafeStore disk encryption.

JT2B1

x4 SAS Ports 4 to 7 Mini-SAS 4i Internal connector

SFF-8087 x4 internal mini SAS connector

Connects the controller by cable to SAS drives or
SATA 2 drives.
