    (#5728) - Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card


    The Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card (#5728) is a bootable high
    performance SCSI RAID Enablement feature providing RAID 0,5, or 10
    capability to select pSeries systems with the appropriate supporting
    integrated SCSI adapter and internal multiple disk drives or packs of
    drives.

    To increase the data writing performance, a 40 MByte nonvolatile fast-
    write cache is provided as a resident part of this feature. The 40 MByte
    fast-write cache can provide an improvement in data throughput and
    response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI
    RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data
    transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the
    percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application
    parameters.

    When an array configuration is selected with the RAID Manager, the
    disk drives being designated as part of the array are required to be
    formatted to 522 byte sectors. A menu option is provided in the AIX
    supporting software which will reformat these disk drives prior to their
    usage in an array. Conversely, when a disk drive is removed from an
    array, a similar menu option is also provided to re-format them back to
    512 byte sectors. Note: Some disk drives require that their microcode
    be updated to the latest level before being formatted to 522 Byte
    Sectors. Also, there are some disk drives which do not support being
    formatted to 522 Byte Sectors. The PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager will
    inform the user of these known situations when they exist. For disk
    microcode updates, go to the following Web page URL:


    http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload/

    Limitation: Even though the supporting integrated adapter with the
    Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card has ports that run at ultra320
    SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives
    will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting
    system disk backplane.


    • Attributes provided: Internal disk drives can be configured as an
      array.
    • Attributes required: System with supporting integrated SCSI adapter
      and disk drives.

    (#5736) - PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter


    The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5736) is a 64-bit 3.3
    volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI
    applications. The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides
    two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.).
    Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal
    SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external. 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.

    In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per
    second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter
    utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully
    utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should
    also be Ultra320 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320
    devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated
    speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will
    switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface to all devices on
    that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

    Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket
    allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3
    meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be
    used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to
    the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

    The two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI
    external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/Web pages for
    verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

    The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5736) is a native boot
    adapter with AIX 5L for POWER Version 5.2 with the 5200-07 Recommended
    Maintenance package (APAR IY67914) or AIX 5L for POWER Version 5.3 with
    the 5300-03 Recommended Maintenance package (APAR IY71011) or later
    software in a supported pSeries or RS/6000 systems. The adapter also
    supports target mode.

    Limitations:


    • Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI nonRAID Adapter has ports
      that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally
      attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified
      by that supporting system disk backplane.
    • To obtain microcode update go to the following Web page URL:

      http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload/



    • Attributes provided: Attachment of internal SCSI devices (on systems
      that support an internal SCSI device or backplane attachment with this
      adapter) and external SCSI devices
    • Attributes required: One available 3.3 volt PCI or PCI-X slot or
      PCI-X 2.0 DDR slot.
