US Announcement Letter: 196-134

Visual identifiers:



Sin le external 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connector (all other ServeRAID cards use VHDCI connectors)



Three internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors



Connector located vertically in the center of the board (unused)

ServeRAID II (part 76H3584, 1997)

US Announcement Letter: 197-256

Visual identifiers:



Two external VHDCI (very hi h density connector interface) connectors



Three internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors



Optional cable to route channel 3 externally

Optional cable (part 76H5400) routes channel 3 to an external connector:

ServeRAID- L (part 01K7364, 1998) and ServeRAID- L II (part 19K0564, 2000)

The photo below is that of the ServeRAID-3L. Note that the internal connector is not on an indentation in the circuit board.

The ServeRAID-3L was replaced by the ServeRAID-3L II (part 19K0564) in April 2000. The internal connector of the

ServeRAID-3L II adapter has been redesi ned so that the adapter will fit in 3U servers, such as the Netfinity 4500R. This board

desi n is the only difference. In fact, the two adapters are the same FRU, 01K7352.

Notes:



The 6i and 6i+ are physically identical adapters. The only difference is that the 6i+ is flashed at the factory to V7.0

firmware to support the x206 and x306. A ServeRAID-6i+ is supported in servers that support the ServeRAID-6i.



The battery shown in the photo is not a production-level battery.
