ICP Disk Array Controllers

Excellence in Controllers

64-Bit/66MHz PCI - Ultra320 SCSI

GDT8xy4RZ - A complete Family

GDT8x14RZ is the 1-channel RAID controller with the

functionality of a 2-channel RAID controller. It has

both, an internal channel and another independent

channel for external use. GDT8x14RZ is ideally suited

for blade, rackmount and enterprise servers. Its com-

pact design allows GDT8x14RZ to be used even in low

profile systems.

GDT8x24RZ is the 2-channel RAID controller

with two internal and two external connnectors.

GDT8x24RZ has been designed for use in

high performance enterprise servers.

GDT8524RZ+ can optionally be upgraded with

the ICP BBU. GDT8524RZ+BBU comes inital

with a battery for full BBU support.

GDT8xy4RZ is a family of

64-bit/66MHz PCI Ultra320 SCSI RAID

controllers. There are versions with one

and with two external Ultra320 SCSI

channels. The controllers feature

multiple RAID level support, for example

RAID 0/1 for mirroring, or they offer full

RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 10 functionality. They have

either no, an optional upgradable or

full ICP Battery Backup Unit.

Ultra320 SCSI channel or two Ultra320 SCSI channels

with two internal and two external connections

depending on the type of controller

●Connection of up to 15 devices per channel with soft-

ware-switchable multi-mode termination (LVD/SE)

●Maximum synchronous data transfer rate of up to

320MB/sec. per channel (LVDS) depending on the

attached drives

●Backwards compatible to former SCSI devices

adaptive delayed write & read ahead functions

Intelligent Battery Backup Unit

BBU Support for even more Data Reliability

72 Hours of Cache Memory Protection

●GDT8524RZ+BBU, ICP Controller plus ICP Battery

Backup Unit, includes BBU support in hardware and

firmware

●With GDT8524RZ+ BBU functionality can optionally be

updated by putting the battery (ICP BBU) into action

●RAID cache holds all data and stores it even in the

case of power failure, at system/controller restart all

data in cache will be written back to hard drives

●Lithium Ion Battery with typ./min. hold time of

72 hours (appropriate handling required), depending

on the used memory module

●Intelligent battery management via ICP RAID software

for monitoring current, voltage, temperature and

actual capacity of battery, for instance
