ProLiant DL320 Maximum External Storage Cabling
External storage is available only through the 64-bit expansion slot. This
expansion slot accepts expansion, boards such as a Smart Array controller with
external connectors, allowing rear server access to all available controller
channels.
For example, one Compaq 64-bit Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter can be
installed in the ProLiant DL320 server. The adapter has two 68-pin, very high-
density (VHDCI) external SCSI connectors. At 15 devices per channel, this
configuration supports 30 external SCSI devices.
NOTE: Refer to the documentation that ships with your Smart Array controller for
restrictions on using both internal and external SCSI connectors.
