Installing the A6829A Adapter

Verifying Installation

SCSI C1010—The type of HBA (SCSI) and the type of Ultra160 controller (C1010).

Ultra160—The HBA’s maximum data transfer rate. This can be

Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra, Fast, or Async. You should keep the following in mind:

This is not the actual transfer rate, but the maximum transfer rate set for the HBA.

This is either the firmware default or the rate set through the BCH menus, unless you attach an SE device, which causes the entire bus to change to a transfer rate of Ultra (see “Performance Tuning” on page 13).

Wide—The HBA’s bus width. This can be Wide or Narrow.

LVD—The HBA’s bus type. This can be LVD or Single-Ended. If no bus type is shown, then the SCSI channel is disabled.

A6829-60101—The HBA’s HP part number.
