Unrivaled Dual-Channel Ultra320  
SCSI Performance 
LSI PCI Express host bus adapters provide high-
availability and scalability, and are compatible 
with the newest workstations and servers.  The 
LSI22320SE features two external Ultra320 SCSI 
channels that allow an aggregate SCSI speed 
of 640MB/s.  Supporting up to 30 devices for 
a flexible, fault-tolerant solution, this adapter 
is ideal for entry-level to enterprise servers 
and high-performance workstations with PCI 
Express slots.  
LSI HBAs provide outstanding I/O performance 
while allowing extremely high host processor 
efficiency.  The LSI22320SE delivers the speed 
and bandwidth required by today’s data 
intensive storage applications, such as data 
mining, internet, email, graphics, audio editing, 
database servers, scientific simulation and 
video streaming.  
The PCI Express Advantage
The PCI Express host interface employs high-
speed serial link technology, an improvement 
over PCI and PCI-X, which operate on 32- and 
64-bit parallel buses.  Performance advantages 
over PCI-X are seen from the huge increase in 
data throughput and the dedicated point-to-
point link for each device.  With PCI Express 
throughput of 2.0 GB/s full-duplex, performance 
will be limited only by the U320 SCSI bus. 
The LSI22320SE also utilizes Fusion-MPT  
(Message Passing Technology) architecture that 
improves performance with thinner drivers (up 
to 100,000 I/Os per sec) while adding value and 
flexibility at the firmware level.  Common drivers  
for each OS greatly reduce the integration and 
testing effort for systems already qualified using  
Fusion-MPT powered devices.

Signal Quality
The LSI22320SE not only moves data blazingly 
fast, it also insures unmatched data reliability and  
signal quality.  With LSI TolerANT technology, 
this adapter improves data integrity through 
active negation on the drivers and input 
filtering on receivers of the controller.  LSI also 
features SureLINK domain validation technol-
ogy, which intelligently tests the network before 
completing negotiation.  It verifies that all devices 
are able to communicate at the negotiated
