The PCI Express interface is compliant with the PCI Express Specification, revision 1.0a. All PCI software is backwards compliant with previous versions of the PCI/PCI-X specifications. The LSI PCIe to SAS products implement the PCI Express interface as a x4 or x8 interface. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapters use either a standard PCI or a low- profile PCI bracket type. The LSI PCIe to SAS host adapter SAS interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI Specification, revision 1.0 and the
