The Controllers can either be operated in both, 32-Bit and 64-Bit PCI Bus Mastering Slots.
ICP Controllers cannot be operated without RAM (ICP ECC SDRAM Modul). |
General Product Description
|
| Hardware RAID Controller |
- RAID 0 = Data Striping
- RAID 1 = Disk Mirroring/Disk Duplexing
- RAID 4 = Data Striping with Parity Drive
- RAID 5 = Data Striping with Striped Parity
- RAID 10 = Data Striping and Disk Mirroring
- 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 test 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 uo 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 |
- 100 MHz Intel i960® RN RISC I/O processor
- 64-Bit Cache RAM, non-buffered PC100 DIMM, also with ECC, from minimum 16 MB up to 128 MB
- 64-Bit PCI bus interface with Bus Master transfer rates of 264 MB/sec, PCI 2.2 compatible
|
| Driver Support |
- MS-DOS*, Windows* 9x/NT/2000, Novell* NetWare*, SCO* Unix*, UnixWare*, Linux*, Solaris* and FreeBSD* (32bit)
- restricted Novell* Clustering Support
|
| Configuration Flexibility |
