SCSI Adapter/A without cache - Information on the full length and half length card (US Only)
Applicable to: United States
Product Involved: SCSI Adapter/A without cache
P/N Involved: 6451109
FRU Involved: 85F0002
There are two 85f0002 adapters...
When ordering a SCSI Adapter/A without cache servicers may receive either the original full-length adapter or a new half length version. They are both SCSI adapters without cache but they are physically different cards. After supplies of the original full length adapter are exhausted, only the new half-length version will be available.
The new short adapter is functionally equivalent to the earlier full length version and the on-board termination scheme is the same. The differences between the two cards besides the length are:
1. The firmware (Spock Prime) of the short card can handle the SCSI2 command set
2. The firmware (Tribble) on the original (longer) card CAN NOTE.
The adapter is shipped with an update diskette which contains the .ADF and .DGS files for various supported languages. There is no way to upgrade or change the firmware on either of these adapters. The "copy an option" utility on the reference diskette (or system partition) should be used to update the customer's Reference diskette or IML partition.
