IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5777) PCI-X Disk Controller-1.5GB No IOP</p><p>(Refurbished Condition Only as of August 28, 2009)</p><p>Provides a high-performance PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI disk controller with a maximum compressed write cache of 1.5GB and read cache of 1.6GB. #5777 will support i5/OS mirroring protection for internal disk drives using the write cache, but will not use the write cache to run RAID-5 or RAID-6 unless an auxiliary write cache IOA is attached. Running RAID-5 or RAID-6 without write cache very significantly reduces its performance. (When an auxiliary write cache IOA is attached, the pair of cards is denoted by feature code #5583.) Concurrent battery maintenance is supported. The controller also supports internal tape units, CD-ROM units, and DVD units. The #5777 has four internal Ultra320 SCSI buses and does not require an IOP.</p><p>Attributes provided: High performance disk controller</p><p>Attributes required: A single long PCI-X slot</p><p>For 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5777)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 36 (Initial order maximum: 36)</p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later.</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note: Not supported in CEC.
