Accessing Documentation document

HBA Features

The internal Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA (SGX-SAS6-INT-Z, SG-SAS6-INT-Z) provides

a low-cost, PCI Express SAS solution for computer manufacturers. The HBA uses either a

standard or low-profile PCI bracket type and has the following features:

■

Support for over 800 single-pathed, or 400 dual-pathed, internal physical disks that can be

accessible by the HBA (for supported configurations, see the storage device documentation)

■

Support for RAID levels 0, 1, and 10

■

Support for a maximum of two logical RAID volumes that can be provided by the HBA

Chapter 1 • HBA Overview 11

HBA Features

■

Support for a maximum of 10 physical devices within any single RAID volume and a

maximum of fourteen physical devices within all RAID volumes combined

■

PCI Express interface that is compatible with the PCI Express Specification, revision 2.0

and backward compatible with the PCI Express Specification, revision 1.1

■

Implementation of the PCI Express interface as an x4 or x8 interface

■

Compatibility with the PCIe Low Profile standards

■

PCI Express transmission and reception data rate that is 5.0 Gb/s in each direction, yielding

a total bandwidth of 10 Gb/s for each full-duplex lane

■

Simplified cabling with a point-to-point, serial architecture

■

Smaller and thinner cables that promote unrestricted airflow

■

Serial, point-to-point, enterprise-level storage interface

SAS/SATA Features

The following are the SAS/SATA features supported by the HBA:

■

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

■

SAS interface that is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification, revision

2.0 and the Serial ATA Specification, revision 2.6

■

Capability of running with either four or eight serial ports for connection to SAS/SATA

(Serial ATA) devices

■

Each serial port is capable of 6.0 Gb/s SAS and SATA link rates and 1.5 Gb/s or 3.0 Gb/s

SATA link rates

Note - While each serial port is capable of 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA link rates, only four of

the eight serial ports can operate at 6 Gb/s link rates at one time. This is to accommodate

platforms that are not designed for 6 Gb/s operation.

■

Support for the easy addition of SAS interfaces to any computer, workstation, or server with

a PCI Express bus

■

Four or eight PCIe PHYs, which provide possible host-side maximum transmission and

reception rates of up to 4 Gb/s

■

Narrow and wide ports

■

SATA target devices, as defined in the Serial ATA Specification, version 2.6

■

Transfer of data using SCSI information units

Figure 1, “Oracle's Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal,” on page 13 shows the

physical features of the HBA.

Hardware Installation and Removal

This chapter explains how to install and remove the HBA. For detailed instructions, see your

system installation or service manual and the installation manual for the storage devices to be

connected to the HBA.

This chapter contains the following topics:

■

“Observing ESD and Handling Precautions” on page 17

■

“Installing the HBA” on page 18

■

“Next Steps” on page 22

■

“Removing the HBA” on page 23

Observing ESD and Handling Precautions

Caution - Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatic-sensitive

components.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, use both a workstation antistatic mat and

an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or from

Oracle as part number #250-1007.

Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

■

Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.

■

Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection

when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.

■

Always hold the HBA by the metal enclosure.

■

Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its

protective antistatic bag.

Chapter 2 • Hardware Installation and Removal 17

Installing the HBA

Before you start, read the instructions in this section as well as the installation instructions for

the storage devices to be connected to the HBA. This section contains the following topics:

■

“To Prepare for Hardware Installation” on page 18

■

“To Install the HBA” on page 19

■

“To Connect the HBA to Internal Storage Devices” on page 20

■

“To Complete the Installation” on page 20

To Prepare for Hardware Installation

1.

Read and observe the safety information for this product.

See the Safety and Compliance documentation for this HBA.

2.

Make a backup of your data.

3.

Familiarize yourself with the physical features of the HBA (see Figure 17, “HBA

Board Layout,” on page 71).

4.

Ensure that you have the proper cables for the HBA.

The HBA has two internal x4 mini-SAS connectors, each connecting to four 6 Gb/s SAS ports.

You will need to use the appropriate cable to connect the HBA to SAS versus SATA storage

devices.

For connection to internal drives or backplanes, you must use an internal cable with a standard

mini-SAS connector (SFF-8087) on the controller side of the cable. The other end of the cable

can fan out into four SAS-style cables for direct connection to SAS or SATA disk drives. Figure

2, “Installing the HBA,” on page 19 illustrates the connector locations on the internal HBA

and the use of a controller-based, fan-out cable to connect to drives that require a SAS-style

signal connector.

Use only Oracle-provided SAS cables. For more information or to purchase cables for your

Oracle system, visit http://www.oracle.com. Cable connectors are keyed so that you cannot

insert them incorrectly.

5.

Unpack the box containing the HBA in a static-free environment and inspect it

for damage.

Note - Leave the HBA in its protective bag until you are ready to install it. If there is damage,

contact Oracle customer support.

• May 2017

To Install the HBA

1.

Attach an antistatic wrist strap and remove the HBA from its protective bag.

See “Observing ESD and Handling Precautions” on page 17.

2.

Refer to the service or installation manual for your particular system for

instructions on how to locate an available PCI Express slot in the system.

3.

Align the HBA to the PCI Express slot and press down gently and firmly to seat

the HBA into the slot (see Figure 2, “Installing the HBA,” on page 19).

Note - The host adapter shape, size, and locations of components may vary from this

illustration.

4.

When the HBA is fully inserted in the slot, secure the HBA to the chassis of the

system by installing the bracket screw, if applicable, or by engaging the system

retention mechanism.

To Connect the HBA to Internal Storage Devices

1.

Configure and install the SAS devices, SATA devices, or both in the system.

For more information, see the documentation for the storage devices.

2.

Connect the serial SAS cables to the two internal x4 mini-SAS connectors and

attach the other end of the cables to the serial disk drives or other SAS/SATA

devices, per your requirements (Figure 2, “Installing the HBA,” on page 19).

Use only Oracle-provided SAS cables (provided with your system at time of purchase). You can

also purchase Oracle cables at http://www.oracle.com.

3.

Observe the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) during data transfer on the connected

drives to ensure normal operation of the HBA.

To Complete the Installation

1.

Replace the system cover and reconnect the AC power cords, as described in

the system documentation.

2.

If you needed to turn the system power off as part of the installation, turn power

on to the system.

Note - Ensure that the power is turned on to the SAS devices, SATA II devices, or both before

or at the same time that the power is turned on to the host system. If the system is powered up

before these devices, the devices might not be recognized.
