Product Description
The HP A7173AR is a high-performance Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides robust connectivity for SCSI-based storage solutions. It is engineered to deliver high data transfer rates, supporting up to 320 MB/s on each of its two independent channels. This makes it suitable for environments that rely on fast and reliable access to SCSI storage arrays, tape drives, or other peripherals. Featuring a PCI-X 133MHz bus interface and a 64-bit architecture, this HBA is designed to maximize bandwidth and minimize latency when communicating with the server's motherboard. The PCI-X interface is a legacy standard that offers higher performance than standard PCI, and the 133MHz clock speed further enhances its data throughput capabilities. The dual-channel design allows for simultaneous access to two separate SCSI buses, increasing the overall I/O performance and providing redundancy or expanded connectivity options. This adapter is specifically designed for integration into HP servers that require high-performance SCSI connectivity for their storage infrastructure. It typically includes external connectors for attaching SCSI devices, enabling the expansion of storage capacity or the connection of critical backup devices. The A7173AR is a key component for maintaining and upgrading storage systems that utilize the Ultra320 SCSI standard, ensuring reliable data access and transfer speeds.
