New Features, Smaller Form Factor
The MegaRAID SATA 300-4XLP is the latest ad-
dition to the LSI family of SATA RAID solutions. 
Offering data transfer rates of up to 3Gb/s per 
port in a low-profile form factor, the MegaRAID  
SATA 300-4XLP addresses the growing demand 
for RAID in high-density rackmount chassis  
environments.  Also, with the addition of 
individual drive activity and fault LED headers, 
users can view status of hard drives through 
LEDs on the chassis.
Migrating to the Next Generation
In addition to 3Gb/s SATA transfer rates, the 
MegaRAID SATA 300-4XLP supports Native 
Command Queuing (NCQ) and Enclosure 
Management (SAF-TE).  NCQ, among the more 
advanced features defined in the SATA II speci-
fication, allows for higher performance and 
increased reliability by reordering commands  
more efficiently.  Enclosure Management (SAF-TE)  
support allows administrators to manage the 
status of enclosures and drives.  With support for  
these new SATA features, the MegaRAID SATA 
300-4XLP provides a reliable and robust RAID 
solution to data intensive storage applications.
Powerful RAID Management Utilities
The MegaRAID SATA 300-4XLP management 
software suite consists of a complete set of tools  
including two BIOS-level utilities (MegaRAID 
BIOS Configuration Utility and WebBIOS),  
character-based MegaManager, and graphically  
powered Power Console Plus (PCP).  This 
selection of powerful RAID management tools 
provides the capability to efficiently configure, 
monitor, and manage RAID systems locally or 
over a network.
Remote Battery Option for Complete  
Data Protection
The MegaRAID LSIiBBU01 is a battery-backup 
module that protects the integrity of the cached  
data on a MegaRAID controller by providing  
backup power if there is a complete AC power 
failure or a brief power outage.  The LSI Mega-
RAID battery backup units provide an inex-
pensive alternative to using an Uninterruptible 
Power Supply (UPS).
The LSIiBBU01 does not connect directly to the 
MegaRAID SATA 300-4XLP adapter, but instead  
uses a supplied 20-pin, 10-inch cable to connect
