Multiple Smart Array 3200 Controller

Installations

If you will be installing or replacing drives in your Compaq server, keep in mind that:

■Each Smart Array 3200 Controller has two independent SCSI channels, each of which supports up to 15 drives per SCSI bus.

■Drives may be Wide-Ultra2 SCSI, Wide-Ultra SCSI-3, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, Fast SCSI-2, or a combination of the four in servers and storage systems that support hot-pluggable drives.

■Drives should not contain termination. Compaq servers and internal cabling provide the required termination of the SCSI bus.

Table 2-1 shows the Compaq hard drives supported by the Smart Array 3200 Controller.
