1.2 NVRAM and Flash ROM
A 32 KB x 8 NVRAM stores RAID system configuration information. The
MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 firmware is stored in flash ROM for easy
upgrade.
1.3 SCSI Connectors
The MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 has two ultra high-density 68-pin external
SCSI connectors and two 68-pin internal SCSI connectors for internal
SCSI drives.
1.4 Single-Ended and Differential SCSI Buses
The SCSI standard defines two electrical buses:
• Single-ended bus
• Low-voltage differential bus
1.5 Maximum Cable Length for SCSI Standards
Table 1.1 lists the maximum SCSI cable length and number of disk drives
that you can use, depending on the SCSI speeds and type of device.
