AD013A is a pair of slimline DVD+RW drives for the HP Integrity rx7640 and HP 9000 rp7440 servers. The two drives share the one half-height removable media bay, which otherwise holds a single DVD+RW (AB351B) or a DAT 72 drive (AB400A).
Both slimline drives need the second core I/O board set. Two internal slimline DVDs also call for a minimum of two cell boards and two core I/O sets. The first core I/O set already opens access to two internal disks and one half-height removable media bay.
The removable media bay sits at the top front of the chassis beside up to four low-profile hot-plug disks. Removable media drives are not hot plug capable. Each core I/O board set has dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller chips that support the SCSI devices in the internal peripheral bay.
A DVD+RW drive is backward read compatible with CD-ROM. Data transfer rates reach 6.75 MB/s with the DVD format and 4.8 MB/s with the CD format. A DVD drive is required for all OpenVMS and Windows configurations.
