SMART-2/P Array Controller

The SMART-2/P SCSI Array Controller interface to the server processor is a
Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) bus. The PCI bus is a high-
performance, 32-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines, and includes
a parity signal. It provides a high-speed (up to 133 megabytes per second)
path between the system board and the SMART-2 SCSI Array Controller.
The Array Accelerator allows these very high data rates to enhance
performance while the data transfer to and from the drives is at a slower rate.
SMART-2 Array Controller/P is a PCI Bus-master device and conforms to
Rev. 2.0 of the PCI Local Bus Specification.
