OVERVIEW
The new Smart Array 532 Controller (SA-532) is a 64-bit, 66 MHz dual SCSI channel PCI array controller for entry level hardware-based fault tolerance.
Utilizing both SCSI channels (1 internal and 1 external) of the SA-532 allows you to configure up to 28 hard drives to store up to 2TB of storage per PCI
slot. The SA-532 provides high reliability and increased performance over the Smart Array 431, thus providing excellent value and lowering the total
server ownership cost. In addition, the SA-532 is data compatible with all Wide Ultra3 and Wide Ultra2 drives and servers, offering an unparalleled degree
of investment protection. Designed and integrated with Compaq entry-level and workgroup ProLiant servers, this product provides worry-free data
protection.
Note: The SA-532 is supported only in 3.3-volt PCI slots of all Ultra2 and Ultra3 servers. The SA-532 is not supported in 5-volt PCI slots.
The SA-532 provides the best performance and capacity for RAID array controllers in entry-level and workgroup Compaq ProLiant servers or in any
ProLiant server where hardware RAID is needed at an entry-level price point.
T H E SMAR T A R R A Y AD V A N T A G E
Compaq's innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer value that is unmatched in the industry. Use of
Smart Array products across multiple applications results in a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID products.
The Compaq Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:
Data Compatibility - among all models of Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance,
capacity, and availability increase. Even successive generations of Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array
Controllers.
Consistent Configuration and Management Tools - all Smart Array products utilize a standard set of management and utility software. These
tools minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing training requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the
Compaq server storage.
Universal Hard Drive - form factor is for use across multiple Compaq servers, disk enclosures and storage systems. With compatibility across many
enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re-deploy these drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems,
and easily manage spare drives.
Pre-Failure Warranty - means Compaq Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows replacement of failing drives prior to
actual failure. For complete details, consult the Compaq Support Center or refer to your Compaq Server documentation.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS (continued)
Fault Prevention
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to be taken:
S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at Compaq detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs,
allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps
bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure preventative maintenance.
Environment Tracking for External Storage System: Monitors fan speed and cabinet temperature of ProLiant Storage System and newer Compaq
storage enclosures.
Fault Tolerance
Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including:
Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): This allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. It is recommended
for up to 14 hard drives.
Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 1+0): This allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. It
is a high-performance RAID.
Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: provides a unique redundancy feature that protects from a ROM image corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the
ROM while the controller maintains the last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt, the controller will revert back to
the previous version of firmware and continue operating. This reduces the risk of flashing firmware to the controller.
On-Line Spares: Up to two spare drives can be installed prior to drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is
reconstructed automatically.
Note: On-Line Spares can only be used with RAID level 1, 1+0, and 5.
Ease of Use
Consistency and Upgradability make the Smart Array family unique in the industry:
GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
Common data formatting between generations of products
Data migration between servers and external storage enclosures
