Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading a DS20e and the message I'm getting from Compaq is
that its unsupported technology to put a 3channel raid controller (KZPAC-CB)
into a DS20E. I was wondering if anyone out there could confirm that this is
the case. I have a feeling that it would probably work.

I haven't had much to do with raid controllers since we used to have a 1000A
with a swcxr 3 channel raid controller. In that case some of the management
functions had to be carried out via ecu, ie booting computer with OS set to
NT and sticking in a floppy. Presumably that is all part of the past. We
were hoping to use a 3 channel raid controller to drive a 4300 cabinet, with
some largish disks, perhaps even some of these 180gb disks from seagate.

Any comments.

Dennis
