1-2 Overview
Copyright © 2003 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
The MegaRAID 320-0X storage adapter supports a low-voltage differential
(LVD) or a single-ended (SE) SCSI bus. With LVD, you can use cables up to
12 meters long. Throughput on each SCSI channel can be as high as
320 Mbytes/s. With this adapter in your PCI or PCI-X system, you can connect
SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.
For Ultra320 SCSI performance, you must connect only LVD devices to the bus.
Do not mix SE with LVD devices, or the bus speed will be limited to the slower
SE (Ultra SCSI) SCSI data transfer rates. Do not connect a high voltage
differential (HVD) device to the SCSI bus because the chip on the storage
adapter must be reset to return to LVD or SE mode once the HVD device is
removed.
1.1.1 Operating System Support
The MegaRAID 320-0X storage adapter supports major operating systems,
including Windows (2000, Server 2003, and XP), Red Hat Linux, SuSe Linux,
Novell NetWare, SCO OpenServer, and UnixWare. Other software support
ensures data integrity by intelligently testing the network before completing
negotiation. Refer to the
MegaRAID 320 Device Driver Installation User’s
Guide for more information.
The MegaRAID 320-0X storage adapter uses Fusion-MPT™ architecture for all
major operating systems for thinner drivers and better performance.
