D6029 16Mb NetRaid cache supports?

[Currie Boyle]

Hi I've used D6029A (aka D6029-90001 in a HP 3-Channel SCSI Ultra Wide Raid Controller D4943-60002.

Is it supported in the D4943A HP NETRAID-3SI DISK ARRAY controller please?

Currie,

I suppose you mean the D5955A Netraid 3si controller.
The D6029A is not supported in the Netraid 3si. The 3si uses EDO DRAm Simms while the D4943A Netraid uses FPM Simms.
What's the use of putting a 16 MB simm on a 3si controller? It has only 1 memory slot and comes standard with 16 MB in it.
If you want to add extra memory, try the D7132A 64 MB simm.

Marco.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry what's the difference between a the D4943 and a the D4943A then please?

[Marco Hogeveen]

There's no difference between them.
HP uses several part- and product numbers for the same product.
D4943A is the official product number, everyhthing with a -xxxxx (like -60002 or -69001) is some kind of sparepartnumber.
You mentioned a 3si controller, and that's something different (ultra-2 capabilities and 3 external connectors).

Hope everything's clear now!

Marco.

I have to make a memory upgrade in a HP NetRaid PCI disk Array Controller card part number D4943A with 4 Mb

There is only two memory slots so I suppose it will upgrade only to 32 Mb using two memory banks part number D6029A 16 Mb each, my question is:

How can I upgrade it to more than 32 Mb, let's say 64 Mb?

Any one can help me?

Thanks
