I/O Interface Card

The I/O Interface card makes up the connection from
the subsystem’s bus to the RAID controller. Located on
the I/O Interface card are two 68-pin very high density
(VHD) SCSI connectors. They provide the interface
connection from the subsystem bus to the RAID
controller or host adapter. The connectors are labeled
Channel 0 and Channel 1.
