Controlador RAID Fujitsu CP400I PCI Express x8 3.0 12 Gbit/s

The Fujitsu CP400I is an eight-port SAS/SATA host bus adapter designed for internal and external storage in high-end servers and applications. Based on the LSI SAS3008 I/O controller and PCI Express 3.0 technology, the CP400I delivers up to 12 Gbit/s per port and supports both SAS and SATA drives. The card is offered in an MD2 low-profile form factor suitable for 1U and 2U servers and provides increased connectivity and improved I/O performance for RAID and storage configurations.

Advantages

The CP400I provides 12Gb/s data transfer per port and backward compatibility with legacy SAS speeds and the SATA protocol, enabling easy integration with existing storage. Equipped with two x4 internal SFF-8643 (Mini-SAS HD) connectors and the LSI SAS3008 controller with Fusion-MPT™ 2.0 architecture, the adapter can deliver high IOPS—exceeding 1,000,000 I/Os per second in appropriate environments. The MD2 low-profile design fits 1U and 2U systems, consumes relatively low power, and offers doubled performance compared with the previous generation SATA+SAS HBAs.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers requiring multiple SAS/SATA connections
• RAID 0 and RAID 1 storage configurations
• High IOPS workloads such as databases and virtualization hosts
• 1U and 2U rack-mounted systems with low-profile expansion slots

How to use

Install the CP400I into an available low-profile PCIe x8 (or x16) slot in a compatible 1U or 2U chassis. Connect internal SAS/SATA drives using SFF-8643 to drive-side breakout cables or compatible backplanes. Configure RAID levels (0 or 1) using the host or system BIOS/firmware tools or management software provided by the server platform. Ensure the server firmware and drivers for the LSI SAS3008 controller are up to date for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use certified SFF-8643 cables and ensure proper airflow in 1U/2U enclosures. Keep controller firmware and drivers current and verify compatibility with your server's RAID management tools before deployment.
