Know your gear
The Smart Array 642 Controller (SA-642) is a 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X dual SCSI channel PCI array controller for entry level hardware-based fault tolerance. Utilizing both SCSI channels (1 internal and 1 external) of the SA-642 allows you to configure up to 20 hard drives (6 internal, 14 external) to store up to 2.9TB of storage per PCI slot. The SA-642 provides high reliability and increased performance over the Smart Array 532, thus providing excellent value and lowering the total server ownership cost. In addition, the SA-642 is data compatible with all Ultra 320, Wide Ultra3 and Wide Ultra2 drives, offering an unparalleled degree of investment protection. Designed and integrated with HP entry-level and workgroup ProLiant servers, this product provides worry-free data protection.
Key Features:
Compatibility with all Ultra 320, Ultra3 and Ultra2 LVD family products. In addition, a seamless upgrade to next generation HP high performance and high capacity mainstream Ultra320 Smart Array controllers.
Recovery ROM protects against a ROM corruption.
Ultra320 SCSI technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth up to 320MB/s bandwidth per channel.
Modular, easy-to-upgrade design lets you optimize performance as needed with the 64MB BBWC Enabler, from 64MB of memory for RAID and read cache to 128MB of memory for RAID, read cache, and BBWC.
Mix-and-match LVD SCSI compatibility protects your investments and lets you deploy drives as needed.
Software consistency among all Smart Array family products: Array Configuration Utility XE (ACU-XE), Array Configuration Utility (ACU), Insight Manager (CIM), Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) and SmartStart.
64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X interface boosts bandwidth above 1B/s burst transfer rate over PCI-X bus.
64-bit memory addressing supports servers with greater than 4GB of memory.
64-MB memory optimizes performance and data throughput.
NOTE: 64MB of DDR memory used for RAID and read cache.
