LSI LSI00008-F Leaflet

Rapid Setup, Simple Operation
RAID initialization in minutes instead of
hours using Fast Initialization technology
enables personnel to quickly configure
systems and prepare them for the most
intensive data storage needs. 

Robust RAID Management Utilities
The MegaRAID SCSI 320-2E management
software suite consists of a complete set of
tools including embedded BIOS(CTRL-M)
and browser-based (CTRL-H) pre-boot
configuration utilities, character based
MegaManager and graphically powered
Power Console Plus (PCP). These online
management utilities are easy-to-use and
quick to install, allow administrators
unequalled array flexibility and accessibility.
Software utilities provide the capability to
configure, manage, and monitor, MegaRAID
Ultra320 SCSI adapters, physical drives,
and logical drives. 

Operating System Support
The MegaRAID SCSI 320-2E supports all
key versions of Microsoft, Netware, Linux,
and SCO UNIX. All OS drivers are backed
by extensive testing and validation to
ensure optimum system performance.

ULTRA320 SCSI PCI EXPRESS RAID ADAPTER

MegaRAID SCSI 320-2E Advantage
With its superior bandwidth for component
communications and a much simpler
internal design, PCI Express MegaRAID

®

storage adapters address the growing
demand for higher storage device
throughput and scalability requirements
across midrange and enterprise class 
server platforms. Its serial architecture does
away with the limitations of parallel bus
architectures by delivering high bandwidth
with the fewest number of signals. This
allows higher frequency scaling, while
maintaining cost effective fault tolerant
reliability, availability and serviceability. 

Market-Leading Fault Tolerance
LSI Logic MegaRAID technology continues
to raise the bar by offering the highest
levels of fault tolerant data protection,
including Microsoft Server Clustering
Support (MSCS). LSI Logic’s innovative
intelligent Transportable Battery Backup Unit
(iTBBU

®

) technology for cached data protection

allows system builders to protect cached
data even during the most catastrophic
system failures. Optional iTBBU01 modules
(order number LSI00009) can be ordered
separately as a field upgrade.

Other advanced fault tolerance features –
including patrol read for enhanced detection
of physical device failure and temporary
offline, an array recovery feature for secondary
drive failures in degraded arrays – further
extend MegaRAID technology as the
preeminent solution for mission critical
server environments.
