GDT8xy4RZ - A complete Family
GDT8xy4RZ is a family of 64-bit/66MHz PCI Ultra320 SCSI RAID controllers. There are versions with one and with two external Ultra320 SCSI channels. The controllers feature multiple RAID level support, for example RAID 0/1 for mirroring, or they offer full RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 10 functionality. They have either no, an optional upgradable or full ICP Battery Backup Unit.
GDT8x14RZ is the 1-channel RAID controller with the functionality of a 2-channel RAID controller. It has both, an internal channel and another independent channel for external use. GDT8x14RZ is ideally suited for blade, rackmount and enterprise servers. Its compact design allows GDT8x14RZ to be used even in low profile systems.
Hardware RAID Controller
- Supports RAID 0/1, or RAID 0/1/4/5/10 depending on the type of controller
- Hot Plug, Auto Hot Plug with SAF-TE support
- Private or Pool Hot Fix drives
- Hardware RAID is totally independent of the host and operating system
- Integrated acoustic alarm
Versatile Connectivity Capabilities
- Support of each one internal and one external Ultra320 SCSI channel or two Ultra320 SCSI channels with two internal and two external connections depending on the type of controller
- Connection of up to 15 devices per channel with software-switchable multi-mode termination (LVD/SE)
- Maximum synchronous data transfer rate of up to 320MB/sec. per channel (LVDS) depending on the attached drives
- Backwards compatible to former SCSI devices
- Supports Ultra320 SCSI features and other SCSI devices
- Cable length up to 12 meters (LVDS) per channel
Multiprocessor RISC Architecture
- 64-bit Intel 80303 I/O processor, > 100 MIPS
- ”Hardware XOR Engine”, integrated coprocessor for optimized RAID 4/5 operations
- Completely offloading the host CPU
PCI Bus Specifications
- 64-bit/66MHz PCI bus interface with up to 528MB/sec. data throughput
- Backwards compatible with 32-bit/33MHz, 64-bit/33MHz and 32-bit/66MHz PCI slots, as well as PCI-X slots
- Supports 5 Volt and 3.3 Volt PCI slots
- Supports PCI Hot Plug functions under Windows 2000 and Novell NetWare (OS driver needed for “hot replacement” and PCI Hot Plug System)
