Features
The SAS Connectivity Card (CIOv) for BladeCenter is an expansion card that offers the ideal way to connect the supported BladeCenter servers to a wide variety of SAS storage devices. Built on proven 3 Gbps, full-duplex, SAS technology, the SAS Connectivity Card can connect to the IBM System Storage DS3200 from the BladeCenter E or H chassis, and to multiple Disk Storage Modules in the BladeCenter S. The card routes the pair of SAS channels from the blade's onboard SAS controller to SAS switches installed in the BladeCenter chassis.
This card is installed into the CIOv slot of the supported blade server. It provides connections to SAS modules located in bays 3 and 4 of supported BladeCenter chassis.
- CIOv form factor
- Provides external connections for the two SAS ports of blade server's onboard LSI 1064e disk storage controller
- Support for two full-duplex SAS ports at 3 Gbps maximum per channel
- Support for SAS, SSP, and SMP protocols
Did you know?
The adapter is based on the PCI Express bus, which can be thought of as a high-speed serial replacement of the older technology. Its use offers many benefits, including higher speeds and the ability to send and receive data at the same time.
When using the CIOv adapter, you can simultaneously use a CFFh adapter to enable more types of I/O to supported blade servers such as the HS22 when installed in the BladeCenter H chassis. The innovative design of the CIOv adapter works with the CFFh adapter to support this combination.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a point-to-point architecture in which all storage devices connect directly to a SAS port rather than sharing a common bus as traditional SCSI devices do. Point-to-point links increase data throughput and improve the ability to locate and fix disk failures. SAS architecture solves the parallel SCSI problems of clock skew and signal degradation at higher signaling rates.
