Introduction
The Smart Array 5312 (SA-5312) high-performance, dual channel Ultra3, PCI-X array controller provides reliable data protection for ProLiant™ servers and offers flexibility thanks to an innovative modular design. The SA-5312 controller raises the standard to higher performance levels with several enhancements including enhanced memory architecture and RAID engine. Designed and tested with industry-standard ProLiant Servers for greater reliability, this controller is ideal for the distributed workgroup server or centralized departmental server, and like other Smart Array controllers, the SA-5312 offers complete data compatibility with previous generations' Smart Array controllers for easy data migration and upgradability.

What's New
Updated option support list, maximum storage support.

Key Features
Modular, easy-to-upgrade design lets you optimize performance as needed, from 128-MB to 256-MB battery-backed cache. High-performance, Fifth generation architecture offers the new hardware RAID engine, and a new performance memory architecture for increased performance over previous generation controllers. Recovery ROM protects against a ROM failure or corruption. Ultra3 SCSI technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth up to 160 MB/s bandwidth per channel. Dual Channels provide the ability to support up to 28 drives or 4.1TB (28 x 146.8 GB Ultra320 1" Hard Drives). Mix-and-match LVD SCSI compatibility protects your investments and lets you deploy drives as needed. Battery-backed Cache protects cached data in the event of a power outage, server failure or controller failure, and redundant, replaceable batteries take that protection even further. 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X interface boosts bandwidth above 1GB/s burst transfer rate over PCI-X bus. 64-bit memory addressing supports servers with greater than 4 GB of memory. Online Management Features: Online Capacity Expansion, Online RAID Level Migration, Online Stripe Size Migration, Online Spares (Global), User Selectable Read/Write cache, User Selectable Expand and Rebuild Priority

The Smart Array Advantage
HP'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 HP 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 ProLiant server storage.
Universal Hard Drive form factor is for use across multiple ProLiant 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 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 HP Support Center or refer to your ProLiant Server documentation.

Software Suite
All Smart Array products share a common set of configuration, management and diagnostic tools, including Array Configuration Utility (ACU-XE), Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU), and Insight Manager. This software consistency of tools reduces the cost of training for each successive generation of product and takes much of the guesswork out of troubleshooting field problems. These tools lower the total cost of ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the HP server storage.
Insight Manager
Powerful server and server options/storage manager tool Monitors over 1200 server parameters
Configuration/Diagnostic Utilities
Array Configuration Utility (ACU-XE) Powerful configuration utility for all Smart Array controllers Provides a graphical view of HP drive array configurations Easy to use Wizards for configuration Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) Powerful diagnostic utility for all Smart Array controllers Options ROM Configuration Capability Rapid configuration upon initial install of the OS

Product Highlights

Data Compatibility	Data compatibility among all models of Smart Array Controllers means customers can instantly upgrade their Smart Array products to get to higher performance, capacity and availability. Unlike competitive products, successive generations of Smart Array products understand the data format of other Smart Array controllers, providing investment protection for your HP storage solution.

Affordable	HP's new high-performance architecture sets new boundaries of industry performance expectations!
	Wide Ultra3 SCSI (160 MB/s bandwidth) per channel High-performance 64-bit architecture New performance memory architecture providing tri-directional data flow for improved performance 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X bus (1-GB/s bandwidth)

Capacity	Given the need rapid capacity expansion, the SA-5312: Two Ultra3 SCSI channels support up to 28 disk drives Up to 4.1TB of storage per PCI slot

Availability	Provides increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality:
	Online RAID Level Migration (between any RAID level) Online Capacity Expansion Logical Drive Capacity Extension Global Online Spare Pre-Failure Warranty

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 HP 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 re-maps 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

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): It allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. It is a fast 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 failure. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller maintains the last know 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. ECC-Protected Cache Memory: Removable, battery-backed cache memory protects data, up to four days, in the event of power failure, server hardware failure or controller failure. In addition, HP provides an exclusive design that includes redundant and replaceable batteries for greater cache protection.

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
