HP Dual-Channel SCSI Controller PCI 160

The HP 129281-001 is a plug-in card that adds dual-channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI connectivity through a standard PCI slot. It provides five SCSI ports in total, with three internal connectors and two external VHDCI32 ports. The adapter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 160 and meets RoHS environmental standards.

Suits administrators maintaining legacy storage

This card suits administrators who need to connect existing Wide Ultra3 SCSI drives or tape libraries to a server that still has an available PCI slot. It is not for builders who require a newer host interface than PCI. It is not for environments that have moved beyond the SCSI protocol entirely.

PCI host interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the PCI host interface; the motherboard must provide a matching slot for the card to function. Verify that the system has a free PCI slot before purchase. The five SCSI ports and 160 transfer rate are secondary to this requirement.

Questions about this item

What does the 160 MB/s transfer rate mean once the card is installed in a server?

Each Wide Ultra3 SCSI channel can move data at up to 160 MB/s, so the dual-channel design lets two drive arrays run at that rate simultaneously.

What does the PCI interface cap in practice?

The card plugs into a standard PCI slot and uses the PCI bus for host communication.

What does the card need to fit and mount in a chassis?

It is a plug-in card with three internal SCSI connectors and two external VHDCI32 ports, so it needs one free PCI slot and matching cables or backplanes.
