64-Bit PCI - Wide/Ultra160 SCSI
Hardware RAID Controller
● RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 10 or Cluster Support
depending on controller model
● Hot Plug, Auto Hot Plug with SAF-TE/SES Support
● Private or Pool Hot Fix drives
● totally independent of host and operating system
The Advantage of Ultra160 SCSI
● maximum synchronous data transfer rates up to
160 MB/sec per channel (LVDS)
● data integrity validation to increase data reliability
● SCSI bus tests to guarantee stable data transfer
Versatile Connectivity and Networking Capabilities
● 2, 4 or 6 Wide/Ultra160 SCSI channels with active,
software-switchable multi-mode termination
● either SE (Single Ended) or LVDS (Low Voltage
Differential Signalling) operation
● up to 15 devices per channel
● cable length up to 12 meters (LVDS) per channel
● 2 external VHD connectors
Efficient Hardware
● runs in 64-Bit slots and fully backward compatible to
32-Bit slots
● hardware XOR engine for optimized RAID 4/5
operations
● backwards compatible to Wide/Ultra SCSI devices
64-Bit Technology Throughout
