V440 rear SCSI connector on separate controller?

Is the LVD SCSI connector on the back of the V440 on a separate controller from the internal disk bays? Thanks, -wMessage was edited by: wsanders

Hello Wiley,

I have removed my long posting.

Short answer: Yes.

The internal disks are on one channel, the external connector is the second channel.

The [url=http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunFireV440_R/spec.html]Su n Fire[tm] V440 Server, RoHS:YL: Hardware Specifications[/url]are misleading. Indeed there is only one channel for the internal SCSI disks (the DVD drive is IDE), but the Ultra-4 SCSI controller is dual channel.

InfoDoc 21216 from the Archived Collection lacks the information about the second channel too.

Anyway you could have saved me and you a lot of time if you glanced over the [url=http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/pdf/816-7728-10.pdf] Sun Fire?V440 Server Administration Guide[/url].
