The first-to-market MegaRAID® Ultra320 PCI Express RAID adapter enables a robust, effective and high-bandwidth server and storage solution. This dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI adapter in a half-size PCI form factor supports an x8 PCI Express host interface. With its superior bandwidth for component communications and a much simpler internal design, PCI Express MegaRAID storage adapters address the growing demand for higher storage device throughput and scalability requirements across midrange and enterprise class server platforms..
Market-Leading Fault Tolerance
LSI MegaRAID technology continues to raise the bar by offering the highest levels of fault tolerant data protection, including Microsoft Server Clustering Support (MSCS). The LSI innovative “intelligent Transportable Battery Backup Unit” (iTBBU®) technology for cached data protection allows your system builders to protect cached data even during the most catastrophic system failures. Other advanced fault tolerance features (e.g., patrol read for enhanced detection of physical device failure and temporary offline, an array recovery feature for secondary drive failures in degraded arrays), further extend MegaRAID technology as the preeminent solution for mission critical server environments.
This document is the quick hardware setup guide for the MegaRAID® 320-2E controller. It describes the steps required to install and configure the controller in a system. In addition, it lists the contents of the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD, contact information for Technical Support, and supported RAID levels.
Half-Size, Dual Channel,Ultra320 PCI Express RAID Adapter. With its superior bandwidth for component

across midrange and enterprise class server platforms.
This document describes how to install the intelligent Transportable Battery Backup Unit (iTBBU). The battery is attached to the back of the memory module that goes in the memory socket on the MegaRAID 320-2E controller. The iTBBU protects the cached data on the MegaRAID storage adapter by providing backup power if the main power source fails.
The iTBBU is compliant with the Smart Battery Data Specification, which removes all communication and charging responsibility from the host system.
The BIOS Configuration Utility and WebBIOS Configuration Utility display the battery information and events, and support battery discharging and reconditioning.
This guide is the primary reference and user's guide for the LSI Logic MegaRAID® 320 SCSI storage adapters. It contains complete installation instructions for these adapters and includes specifications for them.
The MegaRAID 320 SCSI RAID storage adapters are high-performance intelligent PCI-to-SCSI adapters with RAID control capabilities. MegaRAID 320 RAID storage adapters provide reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. They are an ideal RAID solution for the internal storage of workgroup, departmental, and enterprise systems. MegaRAID 320 RAID storage adapters offer a cost-effective way to implement RAID in a server and are available in one, two, or four channels.
