ICP ICP9085LI Specification
ICP Disk Array Controller
ICP9085LI
The ICP9085LI is the first of the next
generation ICP PCI-X to SAS RAID
controllers and offers high performance
and availability within storage systems.
The ICP9085LI RAID controller is equipped
with a 800 MHz CPU, supported by
256MB DDR2 memory and implements
the new RAID levels 1E, 5EE and 6.
Its two 4-port SAS connectors allow the
connection of up to 128 SAS or SATA drives.
It comes with the new graphical ICP Storage
Manager (ISM) and offers a various set of
additional functions like support of AMD* 64
and Intel* EM64T, optimized storage utilization
and improved RAID level management.
