HP A7173A Adapter Overview
About the A7173A Adapter
About the A7173A Adapter
The HP A7173A Dual Channel PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (A7173A adapter) provides two
Ultra320 SCSI Parallel Interface Specification-4 (SPI-4) interfaces to PCI computer systems.
The A7173A adapter is a PCI-X adapter capable of up to 133 MHz, 64 bit data transfers.
NOTE HP recommends installing the A7173A adapter in a PCI-X, 133 MHz, 64 bit, 4x (“Twin Turbo”
or “Dual Rope”) slot. The A7173A adapter can be installed in any PCI or PCI-X slot, but
performance will be maximized when it is installed in a 133 MHz, 64 bit, 4x (“Twin Turbo” or
“Dual Rope”) PCI-X slot.
The A7173A adapter allows connection of up to 15 SCSI devices per channel, or a total of 30 SCSI devices per
A7173A adapter.
The A7173A adapter provides synchronous or asynchronous 16-bit (Wide) Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
or 16-bit (Wide) Single-Ended (SE) SCSI solutions, using only one PCI slot.
The A7173A adapter is backward compatible, supporting Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra, and Fast SCSI devices.
The A7173A adapter cannot be connected to FWD (HVD) devices. Consult with your Hewlett-Packard
representative for information on specific system configurations.
NOTE For a detailed summary of A7173A adapter features and specifications, see Table 1-1, “A7173A
Adapter Features and Specifications,” on page 7.

Maximum SCSI Cable Length — Maximum LVD cable length of 12 meters with
multiple SCSI devices (25 meters
point-to-point)
— Maximum SE cable length of 6 meters with a
maximum of 8 SCSI devices
SCSI Bus Termination — LVD/SE: On-board termination, enabled or
disabled with a hardware jumper.
— SCSI termination power source with
auto-resetting circuit breaker (TERMPWR)
Signaling 16-bit SE or LVD interfaces
Flash ROM Yes, for boot code and firmware
Serial EEPROM Yes, it contains Vital Product Data (VPD), HP PCI
IDs, SCSI Parameters, and Chip Configuration. It
is also configured with the HP part number for
easy identification when ioscan is used.
Safety Characteristics The HP A7173A adapter board meets or exceeds
the UL flamability rating 94 V0. Each bare board
is also marked with the supplier’s name or
trademark, type, and UL flamability rating. Since
these boards are installed in a PCI bus slot, all
voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
