LSI SAS 9202-16e
16-Port, 6 Gb/s SAS+SATA to PCI Express
Host Bus Adapter
16-Port SAS HBA Provides Maximum Connectivity and Performance for
External JBOD and External RAID Enclosures in a Low Profile Form Factor
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
LSI SAS 9202-16e
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

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.
