PCI-X Quad-Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter (FC 5582, 5583, 5738, 5777; CCIN 571E)
Learn about the features and specifications for the PCI-X Quad-Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter.
Feature codes
- 571E is the custom card identification number (CCIN) on the adapter.
- 5738 is the IOP-based feature code for the adapter for the IBM® i operating system.
- 5777 is the IOPless feature code for the adapter for the IBM i operating system.
- The 5582 includes an IOP-based 5738 PCI-X Quad-Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter and a CCIN 574F auxiliary-write cache IOA.
- The 5583 includes an IOPless, 5777 PCI-X Quad-Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter and a CCIN 574F auxiliary-write cache IOA
Adapter features
- 64 bit, 3.3 volt
- Address support for up to 60, 16-bit SCSI physical disk drives on 4 independent internal SCSI buses. (The actual number of drives is limited by physical device placement limitations.)
- Four internal (only) U320 SCSI ports. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.
- Utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. It can support single ended (SE) and LVD devices on SCSI bus 1, but LVD devices only on other SCSI busses.
- Up to 1.5 GB of compressed write cache, and up to 1.6
GB of compressed read cache
- 390 MB/1.5 GB compressed write cache.
- 415 MB/1.6 GB compressed read cache.
- Removable cache card with a concurrently maintainable battery. The removable transportable cache card can be used by service providers for cache data recovery procedures.
- Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) support
- RAID capability:
- Supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, tape, and optical devices.
- 0649 provides RAID 0, 10, 5, 6 capability.
- 5582 and 5583 provide RAID 5 or RAID 6 capability.
- A minimum of 3 disk drives is required for RAID 5.
- A minimum of 4 disk drives is required for RAID 6.
- 574F Auxiliary Cache IOA is required for either RAID level.
For information about using an auxiliary-write cache IOA, see ../p7hcd/fc574f.htm.
