Product Description
The HP A7173-60011 is a high-density, high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for connecting servers to SCSI-based storage devices. It features an 8-port configuration, allowing for a significant number of SCSI devices to be connected to a single adapter. This is particularly useful in environments requiring extensive storage connectivity, such as large storage arrays or multiple tape drives. This adapter employs a dual-channel architecture, enabling parallel data transfers and providing options for load balancing or redundancy. It supports the Ultra320 SCSI standard, delivering data transfer speeds of up to 320 MB/s per channel. The host interface is PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended), a high-speed bus standard that offers greater bandwidth than traditional PCI. Specifically, this adapter utilizes a 64-bit PCI-X interface operating at 133 MHz, providing substantial bandwidth to the server's motherboard and ensuring that the HBA can keep pace with high-performance storage devices. The adapter is designed for LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI signaling, which enhances signal integrity and allows for longer cable runs compared to older SCSI standards. The inclusion of a standard bracket indicates it is ready for installation in most server chassis. The HP A7173-60011 is a robust solution for enterprise servers needing to interface with a large number of SCSI devices, offering both high port density and high performance for storage connectivity.
