SAS Features
1.2 SAS Features
This section lists the SAS features of the LSI 6Gb/s SAS HBAs:
 Supports serial SCSI protocol (SSP), serial ATA tunneling protocol (STP), and serial management protocol (SMP), as
defined in the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Specification, version 2.0.
 Supports SATA, as defined in the Serial ATA Specification, version 3.0.
 Provides configurable drive spin-up sequencing on a per-phy basis.
 Simplifies cabling with a point-to-point, serial architecture.
 Provides smaller and thinner cables that promote unrestricted airflow.
 Provides a serial, point-to-point, enterprise-level storage interface.
 Transfers data using SCSI information units.
