1. xSeries 300 has dual inegrated EIDE (ATA-100) bus master controllers. SCSI models ship standard with a single-channel Ultra160 SCSI Controller in slot two. The SCSI controller
includes a two-drop cable for connection to two internal HDDs. External connection of a SCSI device requires a supported SCSI adapter.
2. Slot one only is available for SCSI models (Ultra160 SCSI Controller is installed in slot two). The external connector does not support external SCSI devices.
3. A 64-bit adapter installed into a 32-bit slot will transfer data at 32-bit rates. Adapters rated at 66MHz will operate at 33MHz when installed in a 33MHz slot.
4. ServeRAID-4L Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel i960 processor and provides a single channel, 16MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one external
Ultra160 connection. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
5. ServeRAID-4M Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel i960 processor and provides two channels, 64MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two external 0.8mm
VHDCI Ultra160 connectors.
6. ServeRAID-4H Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 266MHz Power PC 750 processor and provides 128MB of battery-backed ECC cache. The internal connectors are not
accessible due to a cabling interference. Four external Ultra160 0.8mm VHDCI connectors are available. Some operating systems will function with this adapter only if the latest
version of IPSSEND is installed.
7. ServeRAID-4Mx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor that provides 64MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two internal and two
external Ultra160 connections (only two connectors may be used). External connections are 0.8mm VHDCI.
8. ServeRAID-4Lx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor and provides a single channel, 32MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one
external Ultra160 connection. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI. If attached to the internal HDDs, installation is supported only in slot one.
9. PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) provides a single channel with one internal connector and one external 0.8mm VHDCI Ultra160 connector. Support for external
SCSI devices only. A five-drop terminated LVD SCSI cable is included but not supported for use in this server.
10. PCI Fast/Wide Ultra SCSI Adapter (P/N 02K3454) provides one external 68-pin high density connector that supports external SCSI devices such as tape enclosures.
11. Supported only in IDE models. Dual channel adapter includes two connectors, supporting one ATA-100 HDD per channel. Two 18in ATA-66 cables ship with the option. Allows
RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations.
12. See the Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section for additional configuration information.
13. The 2108R3L SAN Data Gateway Router Ultra SCSI LVD port provides one integrated short-wave optical port and two SCSI ports for tape storage connections (LVD, HVD and
single-ended).
14. xSeries 300 includes dual full-duplex, 10/100Mbps Ethernet controllers.
15. In a fault-tolerant networking environment, using the fault-tolerant software delivered with the Ethernet adapters of a single manufacturer is recommended. Installing fault-tolerant
solutions provided by multiple manufacturers may cause failures if the intermediate drivers provided with the adapters are not compatible. The onboard Ethernet is Intel-based, which
is compatible with the three Intel-based optional Ethernet adapters (P/N 06P3601, 06P3701, 22P4901).
16. Wake on LAN function provided with this networking adapter is supported by this server.
17. xSeries 300 includes two USB ports and a high speed serial/asynchronous port (NS16550A compatible).
18. When storage controllers are installed in both PCI slots, the integrated storage controller must remain disconnected, i.e., it cannot support either external or internal storage media.
If the two storage controllers in slots one and two are both RAID adapters, the boot media must be attached to the RAID adapter in slot one.
