Hardware RAID Controller

• RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD (single disks)
• Auto Hot Plug with SES Enclosure Management
• Global or Dedicated Hot Spare (Hot Fix) drives
• Hardware RAID is totally independent from the host and operating system
• Integrated acoustic alarm

Versatile Connectivity Capabilities

• Supports four or eight internal independent SATA II ports, depending on the controller type
• Connection of one hard drive per port (point-to- point configuration)
• Up to 300MB/sec bandwidth per port
• Supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ)

PCI-X Bus Specification

• 64-Bit/133MHz PCI-X bus interface with up to 1064MB/sec. bandwidth
• Backwards compatible with PCI-X/100MHz, PCI-X/66MHz and PCI 64-Bit/66MHz interfaces
• Needs one 3,3 Volt PCI/PCI-X slot

New RAID Controller Architecture, Processor- and Memory Technology

• Integrated ROC (RAID-on-Chip) ASIC, 200MHz, with hardware XOR engine for optimized parity computation
• Completely offloading the host CPU
• Supported DDF (Disk Drive Format) is the Adaptec* Metadata Format (AMF) that allows interchanging of RAID arrays between the new ICP controllers (not compatible with former GDT controllers)
• Supports 64-bit AMD*64 and Intel* EM64T systems
• Onboard 256MB/64-Bit ECC DDR memory, intelligent multi-level cache algorithm

Intelligent Battery Backup Unit (optional)

• RAID cache holds cached data and stores it even in the case of power failure,
  at system/controller restart all data in cache will be written to the hard drives

• Lithium ion battery with type./min 72-hours cache memory protection
• One-year warranty on the battery with appropriate handling (see manual)
• ABM-500 (Order number 2213700-R)

High Configuration Flexibility

• ROM-resident setup for configuration und maintenance (CTRL+<A>)
• Flexible capacity setting
• Full capacity utilization of mixed size drives
• RAID arrays exceeding 2 TB are supported
• Simultaneous operation of several disk arrays, multiple arrays even on the same disk
• Online capacity expansion (with scheduling)
• Enhanced Online RAID Level Migration (1->0<->10<->5<->5EE, 1->5<->6)
• Complete disk array migration
• The RAID Arrays from other ICP controllers may easily be migrated without reconfiguration - Array Roaming (Not possible with ICP RAID controllers of the GDT series)

Integrated RAID Software
ICP Storage Manager (ISM)

• ICP RAID Configuration Utility – installation and monitoring software, remote access,
  connection to the common management of the Adaptec* products
• Support for S.M.A.R.T exceptions notification
• Software updates based on Flash-RAM technology including recovery function.
