Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This MICRO-STAR MS-95M2 motherboard, revision 10 dated 2006/09/05, is a server-class board built around dual AMI MG9070 SAS controllers. The board provides extensive SAS connectivity through multiple SAS connectors (SASC1 through SASC8) and SATA ports (SATA1 through SATA8). The AMI MG9070 controllers manage the SAS and SATA interfaces, with a 16MHz crystal (Y1) providing the clock source. The board includes a firmware update header (J13, J14) for the MG9070 controllers, utilizing a 2x3 header pin definition. LED indicators (LED1 through LED16) provide status monitoring for SAS channels and controller activity, with green/yellow bicolor LEDs used for visual feedback. The board features standard power connectors (JPWR1, JPWR2, JPWR3), fan headers (JFAN1, JFAN2), USB header (JUSB1), and front panel header (JFP1). The design includes multiple 2N7002 MOSFETs for signal switching and level translation, along with resistor networks for LED current limiting and pull-up/pull-down configurations.
Technician FAQ
Q: What SAS controllers are used on this motherboard?
A: This motherboard uses two AMI MG9070 SAS controllers, designated as AMI MG9070 I and AMI MG9070 II.
Q: How are the SAS controllers programmed or updated?
A: The AMI MG9070 controllers have dedicated firmware update headers (J13 and J14) using a 2x3 header pin definition with signals TA_RESET_#, TA_MOSI, TA_MISO, and TA_SCK.
Q: What is the clock source for the SAS controller?
A: The AMI MG9070 SAS controller uses a 16MHz crystal (Y1) connected to the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins.
