1 Installation and Setup

The HP Ultra3 Single Channel SCSI Host Bus Adapter enables you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices—such as hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to HP Netservers with 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slots. You can connect newer Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the two 68-pin Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) connectors. You can also connect legacy SCSI devices to the 68-pin and 50-pin internal Single-Ended (SE) connectors.
