SentinelRAID 170 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual

upgrade sockets allow for the installation of a daughter board that facilitates the addition of four SCSI-320 I/O channels. All I/O channels (both base channels and expansion channels) can be configured as either host or drive channels.

The controller board also comes with a 68-pin SDRAM DIMM socket that facilitates the installation of a 64MB to 1GB SDRAM DIMM module. A variety of other onboard connectors and jumpers facilitate the connection of a variety of accessory components like battery module charger boards. These jumpers and connectors are listed in Table 1-1.
