2729 Pci Magnetic Media Controller Scsi Pci - IBM AS/400e User Handbook Manual

can be installed in the system unit and one #2726 or #2741 in the #5064/#9364 System Unit
Expansion with #9329 Expansion Unit for PCI cards. If RAID is to be implemented or more
than five disk units are required in the system unit, the #2726 should be ordered in place of
#9728 Base PCI Disk Unit Controller.
The #2726 does not offer support for compression. The #2741 PCI Raid Disk Unit Controller
supports compression when used with V4R3 and it effectively supersedes the #2726 when
systems are ordered with V4R2 or later. If only a maximum of 10 disks are required and there
is no requirement for compression, the #2740 can be ordered as an alternative to the #2741.
