Controller Features
The Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller is a dual-channel, 32-bit PCI
controller supporting RAID technology. It also supports Wide Ultra2 SCSI
technology for faster data transfer rates and is backward compatible with
Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 devices. The Integrated Smart Array Controller supports
SCSI drives either through the external Wide-SCSI connector or the internal
68-pin Wide-SCSI connector, with a maximum of two supported channels.
Configuring the server to use two separate SCSI ports provides maximum
internal and external drive support without having to commit the resources of
an expansion slot.
