PCI RAID O

PTION CARD

Cost-effective,high-performance array upgrade

for motherboards with RAIDport

II on board

Overview

Faced with the choice between either the

slow performance of RAID-like software

that is embedded within the network

operating system or the prohibitive cost of

high-end array solutions,users deploying

entry-level servers for small businesses

and departmental workgroups often settle

for the weak data protection provided by

the network operating system.Now they

no longer have to compromise.

The ARO-1130SA RAID option card

optimizes performance and cost while

providing robust fault-tolerant storage

for entry-level servers.The ARO-1130SA

RAID option card is ideal for improving

data availability without sacriﬁcing perfor-

mance in systems with a PCI-RAIDport II

connector on the system motherboard.

Key Beneﬁts

Built-in, ﬂexible upgrade path

The ARO-1130SA RAID option card

provides a scalable design solution.

Systems can be easily upgraded to RAID

by installing a low-cost option card.

A motherboard with the embedded

RAIDport II slot will accommodate

one ARO-1130SA RAID option card.

Most cost-effective array solution

The RAIDport II connector makes a

motherboard with embedded Adaptec

AIC-7895 or AIC-7880 Ultra SCSI chips

RAID-ready.Installing the ARO-1130SA

RAID option card automatically upgrades

the motherboard from SCSI to RAID.

And utilizing already embedded Ultra

SCSI chips as RAID channels reduces the

complexity and cost of the ARO-1130SA

RAID option card,while leveraging the

investment in SCSI.

Robust fault tolerance

The many extra features for improved

storage system uptime,such as hot-swap

and hot-spare drive support; dynamic sec-

tor repairing; S.M.A.R.T.drive and SAF-TE

support make the low-cost ARO-1130SA

RAID option card the preferred choice to

optimize storage fault tolerance for entry-

level servers.
