AB362A HP Smart Array 6402/128MB Controller, Factory RAID 1

AB362A is the Smart Array 6402 controller with 128 MB of cache and a factory-integrated internal RAID 1 array, for the HP Integrity rx7640 and HP Integrity rx8640 servers. The option includes both the Smart Array 6402 card A9890A and the internal RAID cables AB338A. With that one order number the card arrives cabled to the internal drives and configured for RAID 1 mirroring in the factory.

The operating environments marked for AB362A are Windows and Linux. The option must be ordered with two identical hard drives in the hard partition, and the limit is one AB362A or AB363A per partition. Additional Smart Array cards ordered for external storage are not connected to the internal drives; for those the supported cards are A9890A (Smart Array 6402), A9891A (Smart Array 6404) and 337972-B21 (Smart Array P600).

Spare parts for AB362A are the 309520-001 Smart Array 6402/6404 base board, which has two internal or two external Ultra320 SCSI channels and a 133 MHz PCI-X interface with a RAID XOR engine and no cache module, the 309521-001 128 MB battery-backed write cache memory board (72-bit DDR, includes the battery), and the A7027-63003 internal Smart Array RAID cable. The 256 MB, Smart Array 6404 version of the same factory option is AB363A.
