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. 522 byte sectors provide
additional CRC error checking for improved data integrity. 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:

backplane.
Redundant Array of Independent Disks. There are a number of different
RAID levels. The Dual Channel SCSI RAID card (#1907) supports Level 0, 5
and 10. RAID level 0 support fast data transfers and spreads out the
individual bits to an array of disk. RAID level 5, includes RAID level 0
functions and adds parity checking for fault tolerances. RAID level 10,
support fast data transfers and uses disk mirroring for higher
reliability over RAID level 0 and 5.

(#1912) - PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
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.
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.
