Adaptec 7899W Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Controller
This SCSI controller provides two internal 160/MB/s ports. SCSI port 1 is connected to the SCSI
backplane by default.
Both SCSI ports can support either external
or
internal drives. To support external drives, a port
can be routed externally through the SCSI knockouts in the back panel using the Internal to
External SCSI Cable Option Kit
.
SCSI port 2 ships with a two-device cable to support an internal tape drive.
Note:
Port 2 is a
single
connector that can be routed externally
or
cabled to connect to internal
drives.
ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
Like its predecessor, RBSU lets you view and establish server configuration settings during initial
system startup, as well as modify them after the server has been configured. Because the file
operates from the system ROM (unlike previous configuration utilities stored on a hard drive):
■
The configuration parameters are always available, even if a drive fails.
■
It only takes 3 to 5 seconds to run the utility (vs. 3 to 5 minutes).
■
You can quickly install the latest version by flashing the system ROM with the latest
ROMPaq version.
In addition, RBSU checks each setting as it is made and immediately resolves possible conflicts
without bothering the administrator with an audible warning message. And, because it is
embedded in the ROM, you can use the Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition to remotely
access and configure the system.
