Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Sun StorageTek™ PCI Express SAS 8-
Channel Internal HBA (SG-XPCIE8SAS-I-Z).
The SG-XPCIE8SAS-I-Z is a host bus adapter (HBA) in the form of a PCI Express
card that can be delivered with a spectrum of Sun servers and workstations. As a
disk controller, it is chosen because of its ability to create hardware RAID
(Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) configurations that are faster than RAID
configurations created with software.
