Features

The A6828A adapter and its driver conform to the ANSI T10 SCSI Parallel Interace-3 (SPI-3) standard.

The A6828A adapter has the following features :

PCI interface
- Full 64-bit (66 MHz) Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master.
- Zero wait-state bus master data bursts.
- PCI Universal 3.3 V/5 V bus support.
- Compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2.
SCSI interface
- One SCSI channel.
- 16-bit (Wide) Single Ended (SE)/Low Voltage Differential (LVD).
- Enabling/disabling of on-board termination, with hardware override (using a jumper).
- 68-pin Very High Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) connector on the external channel.
- 68-pin High Density connector on the internal channel (not supported on HP-UX systems).
- Maximum data transfer rate of 160 MBytes/s per channel, with a maximum cable length of 12 meters (with multiple SCSI devices) and a maximum 15 SCSI devices on the single channel (not including the A6828A adapter).
- Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, and Ultra160 data transfer capability.
- SCSI termination power (TERMPWR) source with auto-resetting circuit breaker.
- Flash EEPROM configured with HP part number (allows easy identification through the ioscan command).
HBA characteristics
- PCI4X adapter (66MHz, 64-bit data transfers).
- PCI board dimensions: approximately 8.95 inches x 4.25 inches.
- Universal 64-bit PCI card edge connector.
- Two SCSI connectors:
  One external 68-pin Very High Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI)—J2—for the single channel.
  One internal 68-pin High Density (HD)—J6—for the single channel. Note that the internal HD connector is not supported on HP-UX systems.
- ISA/EISA bracket.
