MegaRAID 320 Storage Adapter Characteristics

3.1.1

Single-Channel Storage Adapter

The MegaRAID 320-1 is a single-channel Ultra320 SCSI-to-PCI storage
adapter that supports one Ultra320 SCSI channel. The MegaRAID 320-1
SCSI channel interface is made through connectors J1 and J7. See

Figure 3.1

and

Table 3.1

for information about the important connectors

and headers on the MegaRAID 320-1 storage adapter.
