SCSI RAID DATA SHEET Adaptec® SCSI Zero-Channel RAID Controller Family (2020ZCR/2025ZCR) Innovative PCI-X zero-channel design for an easy and cost-effective upgrade to RAID 5 The Adaptec PCI-X zero-channel RAID (ZCR) card offers the ideal solution for customers who want an affordable, flexible upgrade path to advanced RAID. The Adaptec SCSI RAID 2020ZCR and 2025ZCR cards provide an affordable, highperformance solution to businesses requiring data protection. The low profile form factor is ideal for workstations and high-density server environments. The Adaptec SCSI RAID 2020ZCR and 2025ZCR cards take advantage of the system motherboard's existing UltraU320 SCSI I/O channels by using complementary logic designed on the motherboard. This innovative approach reduces the cost of the RAID card by eliminating the need for a SCSI I/O chip on the card. The Adaptec 2020ZCR and 2025ZCR cards offer highspeed throughput, scalability, space-saving features, and a cost-effective upgrade path to a full-featured PCI-X RAID solution. Configuration and Interoperability The Adaptec 2020ZCR requires motherboards with a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X slot supporting Adaptec Embedded RAID Logic (EMRL) or Intel RAIDIOS Logic. The Adaptec 2025ZCR is a "credit card size" RAID card that plugs into a specially designed small form factor PCI-X connector (an SODIMM connector attached to the PCI-X bus via EMRL) on Ultra320 motherboards. This unique design gives high-density servers advanced RAID protection and performance without sacrificing a PCI-X slot, making it ideal for 1U applications. Easy-to-use storage management The Adaptec 2020ZCR and 2025ZCR operate under Adaptec Storage Manager™, a storage management tool that centralizes management of all Adaptec host-based and all hardware based RAID products. The software enables remote management, monitoring, and configuration of RAID arrays through secure, encrypted remote communications. The intuitive RAID management tool provides pop-up tips and online help to simplify the creation and management of RAID arrays. Compatibility, Reliability, and Support Adaptec zero-channel RAID cards are designed to work with motherboards incorporating a complementary logic, such as Adaptec Embedded RAID logic (EMRL) or Intel RAIDIOS logic. Like all Adaptec products, the Adaptec SCSI RAID ZCR cards have been extensively tested with third-party systems and SCSI devices to deliver the utmost in compatibility, now and in the future. They are backed by a 3year warranty and industry leading Adaptec technical support.
