Features - Compaq StorageWorks SAN Access Module User Manual

The Compaq StorageWorks SAN Access Module is a Fibre Channel host
adapter option installed on a Compaq Smart Array 5302 Controller, a two-
channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI controller with a 32-, 64-, or 128-MB Array
Accelerator cache. The SAN Access Module provides an interface between
Direct Attach Storage driven by the Smart Array 5302 and external, Fibre
Channel-connected tape and disk storage systems.
The Smart Array 5302/FC Controller option is a Smart Array 5302 Controller
with 32 MB cache and the SAN Access Module preinstalled. This option can
also be upgraded to 64 MB or 128 MB of cache.
NOTE: A Smart Array 5304 Controller is a 4-channel Ultra3 SCSI device, including 2
channels on a plug-on adapter board. A server with a Smart Array 5304 Controller
installed can use the SAN Access Module after the 2-channel SCSI adapter board on the
Smart Array 5304 is removed. The SAN Access Module then replaces the adapter board
on the controller.
The Smart Array 5302/FC Controller features 64-bit/66-MHz PCI
connectivity, which provides a high-speed (up to 528 MB/s) path between the
system board and the SAN Access Module. The Smart Array 5302 is also
compatible with 32-bit/33-MHz PCI slots.
The SAN Access Module is qualified on Compaq ProLiant servers running
the Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Novell NetWare
operating system.
