PCI-X quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter (FC 0649, 5582, 5583, 5738, 5777)(CCIN 571E)

Learn about the PCI-X quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter for IBM System i5™ and eServer™ i5.

571E is the Custom Card Identification Number (CCIN) on the adapter.
0649 is direct-attach feature code for the adapter on AIX^® and Linux^® partitions.
5738 is the IOP-based feature code for the adapter for i5/OS^®.
5777 is the IOPless feature code for the adapter for i5/OS.
5582 includes an IOP-based 5738 PCI-X quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter and a CCIN 574F auxiliary-write cache IOA.
5583 includes an IOPless, 5777 PCI-X quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter and a CCIN 574F auxiliary-write cache IOA

64-bit, 3.3 volt
Address support for up to 60, 16-bit SCSI physical disk drives on 4 independent internal SCSI buses. (The actual number of drives is limited by physical device placement limitations.
Four internal (only) U320 SCSI ports. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.
Utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. It can support SE and LVD devices on SCSI bus 1, but LVD devices only on other SCSI busses.
Up to 1.5 GB of compressed write cache, and up to 1.6 GB of compressed read cache
- 390 MB/1.5 GB compressed write cache.
- 415 MB/1.6 GB compressed read cache.
Removable Cache Card with a concurrently maintainable battery. The removable transportable cache card can be used by service providers for cache data recovery procedures.
PCI-X support
RAID capability:
- Supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, tape, and optical devices.
- 0649 provides RAID 0, 10, 5, 6 capability.
- 5582 and 5583 provide RAID-5 or RAID-6 capability.
  - A minimum of 3 disk drives are required for RAID-5.
  - A minimum of 4 disk drives are required for RAID-6.
  - 574F Auxiliary Cache IOA is required for either RAID level.
    For information about using an auxiliary-write cache IOA, see Auxiliary-write cache IOA (FC 5582, 5583)(CCIN 574F).
