Introduction
The HP Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) G2 contains one
independent low-voltage differential SCSI (LVDS) channel that interfaces directly between
the server PCI or PCI-X local bus and up to 15 SCSI devices. The adapter supports industrystandard interfaces and protocols. The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 can be used
with all SCSI devices, including Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, and Ultra
SCSI. For optimum performance and throughput, the SCSI HBA card must be installed in a
64-bit, 133-MHz, PCI-X slot with Ultra320 devices.
Standard SCSI features of the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 include:
• Support of Ultra320 and legacy modes and devices, including single-ended (SE) or
multimode low-voltage differential (LVD) devices (high-voltage differential [HVD]
devices are not supported)
• One bootable SCSI channel
• SCSI data transfers up to 320 MB/s
• Narrow or Wide SCSI data path
• Single independent channel that allows LVD and SE devices to operate separately at peak
performance
• Automatic detection and communication with Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2
SCSI, and Ultra SCSI
• One 68-pin wide SCSI internal connector that supports Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI,
Ultra2 SCSI, and Ultra SCSI
• One Very High-Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) external connectors that support
Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, and Ultra SCSI

Introduction
PCI/PCI-X Features
• PCI-X 1.0 and PCI 2.2 compliance
• PCI-X compatibility with 32- and 64-bit, 50–133 MHz slots
• PCI compatibility with 32- and 64-bit 5-V/33-MHz and 3.3-V/66-MHz slots
• Half-size form factor that occupies a single 64-bit universal PCI-X slot
• Streaming PCI-enhanced memory data read and write commands
• PCI bus address and data parity generation and checking
Ultra320 HBA Support
The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 provides 64-bit PCI-X bus master operation and
SCSI data transfer rates of up to 320 MB/s, provided that all components are Ultra320
capable. This combination allows high throughput in many network application
environments, including resource sharing, database servicing, and high-performance backup
solutions.
The adapter also supports bus mastering, split completion responses, message-signaled
interrupts, scatter/gather caching, and broad range of direct memory access (DMA)
capabilities. This HBA supports all SCSI functions supported by the previous HP Single
Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA.
The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 is compatible with SPI-4 and PCI-X
specifications and incorporates latest developments in Ultra320 SCSI technology, offering
twice the performance of previous Ultra160 products.
