PCI-based Storage Controllers
PCI one-port SCSI RAID Controller with 4 MB cache memory— Uses one PCI slot. Provides one fast/wide single-ended connection. Allows RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. Includes RAID Array 230/plus subsystem software and documentation kit. KFE70-AA EISA Bridge option required. Tape and optical drives not supported. Maximum of 4 per PCI, maximum of 4 per system supported with DIGITAL UNIX V3.2G or V4.0B; OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 or v7.1.
PCI three-port SCSI RAID Controller with 4MB cache memory— Uses two PCI slots. Provides three fast wide/single-ended connections. Allows RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. Includes RAID/Array 230/plus subsystem software and documentation kit. KFE70-AA EISA Bridge option required. Tape and optical drives not supported. Maximum of four per PCI, maximum of four per system if third port not used (otherwise maximum of three per PCI, three per system) supported with DIGITAL UNIX V3.2G or V4.0B; OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 or V7.1. Order BN31K-0E or KZPAC-SB for third port connection.
PCI three-port SCSI RAID Controller with 8MB cache memory— Uses two PCI slots. Provides three fast wide/single-ended connections. Allows RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. Includes RAID/Array 230/plus subsystem software and documentation kit. KFE70-AA EISA Bridge option required. Tape and optical drives not supported. Maximum of four per PCI, maximum of four per system if third port not used (otherwise maximum of three per PCI, three per system) supported with DIGITAL UNIX V3.2G or V4.0B; OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 or V7.1. Order BN31K-0E or KZPAC-SB for third port connection.
1.5 meter wide single-ended SCSI cable for connections from PCI RAID controller to BA660-AB system cabinet (in front and rear locations) and BA661-AA. One required for each used port on KZPSC-BA or KZPAC-CA/CB module.
Required for KZPSC-BA or KZPAC-CA/CB to use third port on module. Connects internally from KZPSC-BA module to second PCI slot/bulkhead.
SCSI cable/bulkhead assembly kit with two ports for KZPSC-BA or KZPAC-CA/CB, allows connection of two third-port outputs using one PCI bulkhead slot.
2.0 meter wide single-ended SCSI cable for connections from PCI RAID controller to BA660-AB system cabinet and BA661-AA.
Battery back-up for cache memory option for KZPAC or KZPSC controller.
8 MB cache memory option; upgrades KZPAC-CA to KZPAC-CB, field installable only.
