IBM AS/400e

Magnetic Media Controllers
392 AS/400e System Handbook
The #6532 requires OS/400 Version 4. The #6532 is supported on PowerPC based models
with SPD card slots. It is not supported on Models 170, SB1, and 720 with no SPD card slots.
The #6532 offers improved performance over the #6502, #6512, and #6530, and therefore,
effectively replaces them. The #6532 occupies one I/O card slot. It does not offer support for
compression. The #6533 RAID Disk Unit Controller, which supports compression effectively,
supersedes #6532 when systems are ordered with V4R2 or later although V4R3 is required
for compression.
#6533 RAID Disk Unit Controller (4M Cache) Ultra SCSI Compress. SPD
The #6533 disk controller is functionally equivalent to the #6532. For a full description, see
the #6532 section above.
The #6533 offers an enhancement over the #6532 in that it supports data compression when
used with OS/400 V4R3 onward.
The #6533 requires OS/400 V4R2 or later. For all new orders with that release or later, the
#6533 will be ordered in place of the #6532.
