Outstanding performance! Simply put, that is what you get with the IBM PC
ServeRAID Adapter! It achieves outstanding performance through the use of a
PowerPC 403 processor, 4MB of cache, and a dual bus architecture with a
local PCI bus. These attributes significantly improve system performance by
reducing traffic on the system local bus and by rapidly processing complex
RAID algorithms with the high speed processor. The IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter
contains three connectors, one for each channel, and one external connector.
Three of the four connectors can be used for attachment of SCSI devices. Known compatible IBM Systems: PC Server 310 (except
166/200MHz models), PC
server 315, PC Server 320, PC Server 325 Pentium Pro models, PC Server 325
Rack Mounted models, PC Server 330 Pentium Pro models, PC Server 520, PC
Server 704, PC Server 720.. Please note that this is a difficult card to set
up, and that we really recommend that it be done by a computer professional.
Ah! I'd best find me one of these ("computer professional") lest
I break something! :>
(sigh) Looks like the best plan of action is just to install
the thing and see what works with it! Might as well put
one of each of the other cards in the machine at the same
time and cut down on all the board swapping...
Thanks!
