403049-001 - HP Ultra320 SCSI Controller

Description

The HP 403049-001 is a high-performance SCSI controller card that utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) bus for enhanced data transfer speeds. This controller supports the Ultra320 SCSI standard, which offers a maximum theoretical throughput of 320 MB/s, making it suitable for demanding storage applications. By integrating with the PCIe interface, it benefits from increased bandwidth and lower latency compared to older PCI or PCI-X interfaces, providing a significant performance boost for connected SCSI devices. This controller is designed to connect a variety of SCSI peripherals, including hard drives, tape drives, and optical drives, to HP servers. It is particularly useful in environments where high-speed access to large amounts of data is required, such as in database servers, video editing workstations, or high-performance computing clusters. The Ultra320 standard also supports features like dual-channel operation and LVD (Low Voltage Differential) signaling for improved signal integrity and longer cable lengths. Installation of the 403049-001 involves inserting the card into an available PCIe slot on the server's motherboard and installing the appropriate drivers. Once configured, it allows administrators to manage and expand their SCSI storage infrastructure with confidence, benefiting from the speed and reliability of both Ultra320 SCSI and the PCIe interface. This makes it a robust solution for maintaining and upgrading storage systems that rely on SCSI technology.
