PCI-X DDR Dual-Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (FC1912, FC 5736; CCIN 571A)

Learn about the specifications for the PCI-X DDR Dual-Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

Overview

The PCI-X DDR Dual-Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter is a high-performance SCSI adapter for Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) and PCI systems. The adapter provides two SCSI channels (buses), each capable of running at a maximum speed of 320 Megabytes per second (MBps). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI devices or backplane attachments) or external, but not both. Internally attached Ultra320 devices run at a data rate of up to 320 MBps on systems that have internal backplanes that support Ultra320 speeds.

The adapter uses and supports low voltage differential (LVD) drivers and receivers only.

For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for your system.
