HP FastRAID Solution
HP FastRAID Solution
To give more performance to the 16-bit Wide Ultra SCSI channel, HP
FastRAID has been introduced as an option. Some models of the
HP Kayak XU PC Workstation are supplied with the HP FastRAID installed,
while all models are capable of supporting it (it is available as the HP
FastRAID Accessory Kit). When installing HP FastRAID, please refer to the
Installation and Configuration Guide
supplied with the HP FastRAID
Accessory Kit for instruction.
The HP FastRAID Solution (or Accessory Kit if ordered after purchase)
includes an Adaptec ARO-1130 PCI RAID
port
adapter and five disks
containing configuration utilities, drivers and the CI/O Array Management
software. Note that the CI/O Array Manager is also known as the HP RAID
Manager, and contains the Array
Config
utility imbedded in it. The
Accessory Kit, along with the RAID
port
connector and firmware on the
systemboard of the PC Workstation, provide the components necessary to
implement FastRAID.
The ARO-1130 adapter increases the performance of the PC Workstation’s
hard drives by accelerating data storage and retrieval. Part of this hardware
acceleration is due to the read and write cache options available with the
ARO-1130 adapter. Using the write cache, when the memory is flushed to
the SCSI devices (hard drives), the idle time is to one tenth of the idle time
