SAS - PCI Express (PCIe):

PCIe 8-lane 8-port SAS RAID controller


ICP 5085BR

Part Number 2216900-R

 

ICP5085BR is the first of the next generation ICP PCI-Express to SAS RAID controllers and offers highest performance and availability within storage systems. The ICP5085BR RAID controller is equipped with a 800 MHz CPU, supported by 256MB DDR2 memory and implements the new RAID levels 1E, 5EE and 6

Order number: 8-port ICP5085BR = 2216900-R

Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows* XP; Windows* 2000 Server, Advanced Server and Professional; Windows* Server 2003,
    Standard and Enterprise; Windows* XP Professional x64 Edition; Windows* 2003 x64 Edition
  • Linux: Red Hat* Advanced Server 3.0, SuSE* 9.1, SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 9
  • Novell* NetWare* 6.5
  • SCO* OpenServer* 6.0, UnixWare* 7.1.3
  • FreeBSD* 5.3, 5.4 (ICP Storage Manager not available for FreeBSD)

 

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.
    Latest firmware, drivers and tools available at www.icp-vortex.com
