Features

Features

The A6828A adapter and its driver conform to the ANSI T10 SCSI Parallel Interace-3 (SPI-3) standard.

The A6828A adapter has the following features:

•PCI interface

—Full 64-bit (66 MHz) Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master.

—Zero wait-state bus master data bursts.

—PCI Universal 3.3 V/5 V bus support.

—Compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2.

•SCSI interface

—One SCSI channel.

—16-bit (Wide) Single Ended (SE)/Low Voltage Differential (LVD).

—Enabling/disabling of on-board termination, with hardware override (using a jumper).

—68-pinVery High Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) connector on the external channel.

—68-pin High Density connector on the internal channel (not supported on HP-UX systems).

—Maximum data transfer rate of 160 MBytes/s per channel, with a maximum cable length of 12 meters (with multiple SCSI devices) and a maximum 15 SCSI devices on the single channel (not including the A6828A adapter).

—Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, and Ultra160 data transfer capability.

—SCSI termination power (TERMPWR) source with auto-resetting circuit breaker.

—Flash EEPROM configured with HP part number (allows easy identification through the ioscan command).

•HBA characteristics

—PCI4X adapter (66MHz, 64-bit data transfers).
