3.1 MegaRAID 320 Storage Adapter Family
PCI is a high-speed standard local bus for interfacing I/O components to
the processor and memory subsystems in a high-end PC. The
component height on the top and bottom of the Ultra320 SCSI host
adapters follows the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, and
PCI-X Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 1.0a. The
MegaRAID 320 Storage Adapters are used in PCI-X and PCI computer
systems with PCI standard and PCI low-profile bracket types.
The MegaRAID 320-2E controller is used in a system with a PCI-Express
slot. PCI-Express goes beyond the PCI specification in that it is intended
as a unifying I/O architecture for various systems: desktops,
workstations, mobile, server, communications, and embedded devices.
Table 3.7 lists the features for the MegaRAID 320 Storage Adapters.
