HP D5989BVR Midplane Ultra 3 SCSI Controller Card Board for Netserver Rack Storage/ 12-FC

Product Description

The HP D5989BVR is a specialized controller card designed to integrate and manage Ultra 3 SCSI storage devices within HP Netserver Rack Storage enclosures. This controller board acts as the central interface, enabling communication between the server's midplane and the connected SCSI hard drives or other peripherals. Ultra 3 SCSI, also known as Ultra-160 SCSI, offers a significant performance improvement over previous SCSI generations, with a maximum data transfer rate of 160MB/s, providing a robust solution for storage-intensive applications of its era. This controller card supports both Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single-Ended (SE) signaling, offering flexibility in connecting various types of SCSI devices. The midplane form factor indicates that it is designed to be installed directly onto the server's backplane or midplane, facilitating a clean and integrated connection within the chassis. It is engineered to manage multiple SCSI devices, allowing for the configuration of RAID arrays or the expansion of storage capacity through a chain of SCSI devices. The HP D5989BVR is crucial for systems that rely on high-performance, reliable storage connectivity using the SCSI interface. It ensures that the Netserver Rack Storage system can effectively utilize its attached storage resources, supporting applications that require fast access to data, such as database servers, file servers, and application servers. Its specific compatibility with HP Netserver Rack Storage systems highlights its role in HP's storage infrastructure solutions.
