Hardware RAID Controller
- RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD (single disks)
- Auto Hot Plug with SES Enclosure Management
- Global or Dedicated Hot Spare (Hot Fix) drives
- Hardware RAID is totally independent from the host and operating system
- Integrated acoustic alarm
Versatile Connectivity Capabilities
- Two internal 4-port or one internal 4-port and one external 4-port SAS
connector (automatic detection)
- Connection of up to 128 SAS or SATA drives. The connection of more
than 8 drives requires appropriate disk enclosures
- Maximum bandwidth of 3Gbit/sec per port
PCI Express Bus Specification
- PCI-Express 8-lane
- Up to 2 GByte/sec. bandwidth
New RAID Controller Architecture, Processor- and Memory Technology
- 64-Bit Intel* 80331 I/O Processor, 800 MHz
- Hardware XOR Engine, integrated coprocessor for optimized parity computation
- Completely offloading the host CPU
- Supported DDF (Disk Drive Format) is the Adaptec* Metadata Format (AMF)
that allows interchanging of RAID arrays between the new ICP controllers (not compatible with former GDT controllers)
- Supports 64-bit AMD*64 and Intel* EM64T systems
- Onboard 256MB/64-Bit ECC DDR2 memory,
- Intelligent multi-level cache algorithm
Intelligent Battery Backup Unit (optional)
- RAID cache holds cached data and stores it even in the case of power failure,
at system/controller restart all data in cache will be written to the hard drives
- Lithium ion battery with type./min 72-hours cache memory protection
- One-year warranty on the battery with appropriate handling (see manual)
- ABM-600 (Order number 2218300-R)
High Configuration Flexibility
- ROM-resident setup for configuration und maintenance (CTRL+<A>)
- Flexible capacity setting
- Full capacity utilization of mixed size drives
- RAID arrays exceeding 2 TB are supported
- Simultaneous operation of several disk arrays, multiple arrays even on the same disk
- Online capacity expansion (with scheduling)
- Enhanced Online RAID Level Migration (1->0<->10<->5<->5EE, 1->5<->6)
- Complete disk array migration
- The RAID Arrays from other ICP controllers may easily be migrated without reconfiguration -
Array Roaming (Not possible with ICP RAID controllers of the GDT series)
Integrated RAID Software ICP Storage Manager (ISM)
- ICP RAID Configuration Utility – installation and monitoring software, remote access,
connection to the common management of the Adaptec* products
- Support for S.M.A.R.T exceptions notification
- Software updates based on Flash-RAM technology including recovery function.
