ServeRAID (part number 70G8489, 1996)
US Announcement Letter: 196-134
Visual identifiers:
Sin le external 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connector (all other ServeRAID cards use VHDCI connectors)
Three internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors
Connector located vertically in the center of the board (unused)
ServeRAID II (part 76H3584, 1997)
US Announcement Letter: 197-256
Visual identifiers:
Two external VHDCI (very hi h density connector interface) connectors
Three internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors
Optional cable to route channel 3 externally
Optional cable (part 76H5400) routes channel 3 to an external connector:
ServeRAID- L (part 01K7364, 1998) and ServeRAID- L II (part 19K0564, 2000)
US Announcement Letters:
ServeRAID-3L: 198-232
ServeRAID-3L II: 100-101
Visual
identifiers:
One external VHDCI connector, labeled "LVD/SE"
One internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connector
32-bit PCI connector (short)
The photo below is that of the ServeRAID-3L. Note that the internal connector is not on an indentation in the circuit board.
The ServeRAID-3L was replaced by the ServeRAID-3L II (part 19K0564) in April 2000. The internal connector of the
ServeRAID-3L II adapter has been redesi ned so that the adapter will fit in 3U servers, such as the Netfinity 4500R. This board
desi n is the only difference. In fact, the two adapters are the same FRU, 01K7352.
ServeRAID- H (part 01K7207, 1998)
US Announcement Letter: 198-232
Visual identifiers:
Two external VHDCI connectors, labeled "LVD/SE"
Sin le internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connector
Connector on the top ed e of the card with EDO memory DIMM installed
Mi ht have an optional dau hter card with a battery pack (part 28L1003) installed into the connector near the handle.
This adapter looks similar to the ServeRAID-3HB.
64-bit PCI connector (lon )
Note: The adapter also includes a cable similar to ServeRAID II option to route the internal channel 3 connector to an external
VHDCI connector
(not shown).
ServeRAID- HB (part 37L6086, 1999)
US Announcement Letter: 199-152
Visual identifiers:
Same as ServeRAID-3H adapter except battery backup module is standard
ServeRAID-4L (part 37L6091, 2000)
US Announcement Letter: 100-099
Visual identifiers:
One external VHDCI connector
One internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connector
Space for two internal connectors, but only one present (same circuit board as the 4M)
ServeRAID-4Lx (part 06P5740, 2001)
US Announcement Letter: 101-146
Visual identifiers:
Half-len th card
Square heat sink in the middle of the card

No heat sinks (4Mx has heat sinks)
ServeRAID-4Mx (part 06P5736, 2001)
US Announcement Letter: 101-146
Visual identifiers:
Similar to ServeRAID-4M (check for heat sinks)
Two external VHDCI connectors
Two internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors
Battery inte rated into a dau hter card len thwise alon card, near handle
Heat sink on central chip and smaller chip near PCI connector
ServeRAID-4H (part 37L6889, 2000)
US Announcement Letter: 100-099
Visual identifiers:

Two internal 68-pin industry-standard SCSI connectors
Lar e dau hter card with battery attached to the main board
ServeRAID-5i (part 25P3492, 2002)
US Announcement Letter: 102-170
Visual identifiers:
No internal or external SCSI connectors (uses the server's onboard SCSI)
ServeRAID-6M
128 MB cache: part 32P0033, 2003 and 39R8815, 2006
256 MB cache: part 02R0988, 2003 and 39R8816, 2006
US Announcement Letter: 103-206
Visual identifiers:
Two external connectors and two internal connectors
Adaptec name and lo o printed on the board (not IBM)
Two notches in the PCI connector, not three - indicatin that it is a 3.3V adapter, not a combo 3.3V+5V adapter
One DIMM attached to the bottom ed e of the card (see photo) for the cache
The 128 MB DIMM has five chips (as shown in the photo); the 256 DIMM has nine chips
Note: The battery shown in the photo is not a production-level battery.
ServeRAID-6i (part 71P8595, 2003) and ServeRAID-6i+ (part 13N2190, 2004 and 39R8793, 2006)
US Announcement Letters:

Visual
identifiers:
No internal or external SCSI connectors (uses the server's onboard SCSI)
Two notches in the PCI connector (versus four notches in the ServeRAID-5i)
Notes:
The 6i and 6i+ are physically identical adapters. The only difference is that the 6i+ is flashed at the factory to V7.0
firmware to support the x206 and x306. A ServeRAID-6i+ is supported in servers that support the ServeRAID-6i.
The battery shown in the photo is not a production-level battery.
