Disk Controllers
Supported disk controllers include:
■
Smart Array 3100ES Controllers provide high performance and RAID
fault-tolerance. The Smart Array 3100ES Controller requires no cables
and provides three Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 buses for use with internal mass
storage. SCSI cables are pre-installed at Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 connectors
on the I/O board and staged for attachment to each internal hot-plug
hard-drive cage.
■
Dual Integrated Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 controllers provide two Wide-Ultra
SCSI-3 connectors for use with internal removable media drive bays and
internal hard-drive cages.
■
Integrated Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 controllers provide one Wide-Ultra SCSI-
3 external connector for use with external mass storage devices.
Each Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 controller performs at a maximum data transfer rate of
40 MB/s. For more information on supported disk controller options, refer to
the Storage and Options Documentations Library CD or the ProLiant 6000
information on the Compaq website,

.
Network Controller
■
Supports dual-port 10/100 TX UTP controllers on the PCI local bus.
Features of this controller include two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT or
100TX Ethernet.
■
Redundant Network Controller software that supports a redundant NIC
configuration is available on the Compaq Support Software CD that was
shipped with your server. This feature may be used with one dual-port,
two dual-port, or two single-port NICs.
NOTE
: Remove the terminator plug from the second RJ-45 connector when
using the dual-port capabilities.
