HP NetRAID-1M and 2M Adapters

The HP NetRAID-1M (P3410A) and HP NetRAID-2M (P3411A with 64-MB
cache memory, P3475A with 128-MB cache memory) adapters provide an
interface between the host system and a disk array storage system. The adapters
use the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) standard to control data
transfers on one or two SCSI channels.
The HP NetRAID-1M and 2M adapters support the same operating systems as
the HP Netservers do. Refer to your HP Netserver documentation for the
operating systems supported on your server.
CAUTION

Features of the HP NetRAID-1M and 2M Adapters

The HP NetRAID-1M and HP NetRAID-2M adapters are high-performance,
intelligent PCI-to-SCSI host adapters with RAID control capabilities. The HP
NetRAID-1M and 2M adapters have SCSI channels with both internal and
external connections.

Channels and Devices

HP NetRAID-1M and 2M adapters support channels with both internal and
external SCSI connectors. The internal connectors are used to connect disk drives
that are in the same Netserver chassis where the NetRAID adapter is located. The
external connectors are used to connect disk drives that are in an external disk
enclosure, such as the HP Rack Storage/12.
You can make either one internal connection or one external connection for each
channel, but not both at the same time.
To use the HP NetRAID-1M or HP NetRAID-2M adapter,
you must make sure that you have the adapter's latest version
of firmware. The latest version of firmware for each HP
NetRAID-1M or 2M adapter can be downloaded from the HP
web site at:
