Description

The IBM ASC-29320LP, also identified by the IBM part number 71P8613, is a high-performance SCSI controller designed to connect SCSI storage devices to a host system. It utilizes the Ultra320 SCSI standard, which offers a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 320 Megabytes per second (MB/s) over a single channel. This makes it suitable for demanding storage applications where high throughput is required, such as in servers hosting databases, file servers, or RAID arrays. The controller features a PCI-X interface, which is an enhanced version of the PCI bus designed to support higher clock speeds and bandwidth compared to standard PCI. This ensures that the controller can operate at its full potential without being bottlenecked by the host interface. The ASC-29320LP typically includes both internal and external connectors, allowing for the connection of internal hard drives or tape drives as well as external SCSI devices. This controller supports both LVD (Low Voltage Differential) and SE (Single-Ended) SCSI signaling, providing flexibility in connecting various types of SCSI peripherals. However, it is important to note that the product listing explicitly states that other accessories, such as cables and terminators, are excluded and must be sourced separately. This is a common practice for enterprise-grade components where users may already have specific cabling requirements or existing accessories.
