Chapter 3: MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller Characteristics
Technical Specifications
The parameters for the nonoperating (such as storage and transit) environment for these controllers are as follows:
 Relative humidity range is 5 percent to 90 percent noncondensing.
 Temperature range: –45 °C to +105 °C
3.3.4.3 Power Supply Requirements for the MegaRAID SAS 9361 RAID Controllers
All power is supplied to the MegaRAID SAS 9361 RAID controllers through the PCIe 3.3V rails and the 12V rail. Onboard
switching regulator circuitry operating from the 3.3V rails and the 12V rail provides the necessary voltages. The
following states determine the typical current consumption of the controller:
 State 1: While sitting idle at the DOS® prompt
 State 2: During a drive stress test
The supply voltages are 12V ± 8 percent (from PCI edge connector only) and 3.3V ± 9 percent (from PCI edge
connector only). The following table lists the power supply for the RAID controllers for these two states at the
different voltages.
3.3.4.4 Operating and Nonoperating Conditions for MegaRAID SAS 9361 RAID Controllers
For the MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID controller, the operating (thermal and atmospheric) conditions are as follows:
 Relative humidity range is 20 percent to 80 percent noncondensing
 Airflow must be at least 200 linear feet per minute (LFPM) to avoid operating the LSISAS3108 processor above the
maximum ambient temperature
 Temperature range: 10 °C to +55 °C (with or without the CVFM04 module attached)
The parameters for the nonoperating (such as storage and transit) environment for these controllers are as follows:
 Relative humidity range is 5 percent to 90 percent noncondensing.
 Temperature range: –40 °C to +70 °C
3.3.5 Safety Characteristics
All 12Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controllers meet or exceed the requirements of UL flammability rating 94 V0.
Each bare board is also marked with the supplier name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. For the boards
installed in a PCI Express bus slot, all voltages are lower than the SELV 42.4V limit.
