Hardware RAID Controller

• RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and JBOD (single disks)
• Hot Plug, Auto Hot Plug with SAF-TE support
• 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

• Always one internal and one external SCSI connector per Ultra320 SCSI channel
• Connection of up to 15 SCSI devices per channel, with software-switchable termination, supports LVD and SE operation
• Maximum synchronous data transfer rate up to 320MB/sec. per channel (Ultra 320 LVDS) depending on the attached drives
• Backwards compatible to former SCSI devices
• Cable length up to 12 meters (LVDS) per channel

PCI-X Bus Specification

• 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X bus interface with up to 1056MB/sec. bandwidth
• Backwards compatible with PCI-X/100MHz, PCI-X/66MHz and PCI 64-bit/66MHz interfaces
• Needs one 3.3 Volt PCI/PCI-X slot

New RAID Controller Architecture, Processor- and Memory Technology

• Integrated high-performance ROC (RAID-on-Chip) ASIC including “Hardware XOR Engine” offloading the controller CPU
• Supported DDF (Disk Drive Format) is the Adaptec* Metadata Format (AMF) that allows the interchange of RAID arrays between the new ICP Controllers (NOT compatible with former GDT Controllers)
• Supports 64-bit systems for AMD* 64 and Intel* EM64T
• Onboard 256MB/64-bit ECC DDR memory, intelligent multi-level cache algorithm

Intelligent Battery Backup Unit (optional)

• RAID cache holds all 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 typ./min. 72-hour cache memory protection
• One-year warranty on the battery at appropriate handling (see manual)
• ABM-400 (order number 2122700)

High Configuration Flexibility

• ROM-resident setup for configuration und maintenance (CTRL+<A>)
• Simultaneous operation of several disk arrays, multiple arrays even on the same disk
• Flexible capacity setting
• Full capacity utilization of mixed size drives
• Online capacity expansion
• Enhanced online RAID level migration
• 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)
• Automatic adaptation to changes in SCSI configuration (ID/SCSI channels)

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.
