You should have no trouble installing these in the G1 server.

Re: will ultra 320 disks work in a G1 DL580?
Yes, in order to achieve the Ultra320 protocol, you need to have a Ultra320 Controller. If you are going to install one, you might use the SmartArray 641 controller if all you need are the internal drives. You should move up the food chain to a SA6400 series if you need to manage a StorageWorks Enclosure.
Two things though...
The DL580G1 only has a 66MHz PCI bus available so the cards will run at that speed. You will loose some bandwidth.
Also, I am not sure what the Generation 6 controller will look like to the DL580G1 bios. I an fairly sure that you will be able to config the array and then set the boot order to use it, but if I were you I would use SmartStart 6.40 to do it.
Hope this helps! -john
Let me know if you need any more help?

Re: will ultra 320 disks work in a G1 DL580?
Thanks for your answers.
How much of the 320MB/s bandwidth will be lost due to the DL580G1 bus running at 66MHz? What bus speed is required to give the 320MB/s bandwidth? Would this be found in a G2 or G3 server?
Alternatively, is it better to put these U320 disks in a StorageWorks enclosure that is linked to the DL580G1 to give 320MB/s? Is this what you mean by a SA6400?
We have Ultra 3 disks in the DL580G1 servers at the moment; so are they running at 160MB/s or is this bandwidth also being degraded by the 66MHz bus speed?
Thanks,
Keith
