PCI Interface

  • Full 64-bit Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master

  • Zero wait-state bus master data bursts

  • PCI-X Universal 3.3 V / 5 V bus support (133 MHz, 64 bit edge connector adapter)

  • Compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 and PCI-X Addendum Revision 1.0a.

PCI-X Bus Connector Type

133 MHz, 64 bit edge connector

(universal 3.3 V / 5 V bus support)

SCSI Standard Compliance

The A7173A adapter and its driver conform to the ANSI T10 SCSI Parallel Interface-4 (SPI-4) standard

SCSI Connections

  • Two 68-pin Very High Density Cable Interconnects (VHDCI) for the two external channels

  • Two 68-pin High Density (HD) connectors for the two internal channels

SCSI Channels

Two independent Ultra320 SCSI channels: synchronous or asynchronous, 16-bit (Wide) Single Ended (SE) or 16-bit (Wide) Low Voltage Differential (LVD)

Maximum SCSI Devices Connected

15 SCSI devices per channel, in addition to the A7173A adapter

Maximum SCSI Cable Length

  • Maximum LVD cable length of 12 meters with multiple SCSI devices (25 meters point-to-point)

  • Maximum SE cable length of 6 meters with a maximum of 8 SCSI devices

SCSI Bus Termination

  • LVD/SE: On-board termination, enabled or disabled with a hardware jumper.

  • SCSI termination power source with auto-resetting circuit breaker (TERMPWR)

Signaling

16-bit SE or LVD interfaces

Flash ROM

Yes, for boot code and firmware

Serial EEPROM

Yes, it contains Vital Product Data (VPD), HP PCI IDs, SCSI Parameters, and Chip Configuration. It is also configured with the HP part number for easy identification when ioscan is used.

Safety Characteristics

The HP A7173A adapter board meets or exceeds the UL flamability rating 94 V0. Each bare board is also marked with the supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flamability rating. Since these boards are installed in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
