Magnetic Media Controllers 395
Magnetic Media Controllers
can be installed in the system unit and one #2726 or #2741 in the #5064/#9364 System Unit
Expansion with #9329 Expansion Unit for PCI cards. If RAID is to be implemented or more
than five disk units are required in the system unit, the #2726 should be ordered in place of
#9728 Base PCI Disk Unit Controller.
The #2726 does not offer support for compression. The #2741 PCI Raid Disk Unit Controller
supports compression when used with V4R3 and it effectively supersedes the #2726 when
systems are ordered with V4R2 or later. If only a maximum of 10 disks are required and there
is no requirement for compression, the #2740 can be ordered as an alternative to the #2741.

The #2729 does not provide Hardware Data Compression (HDC).
The #2729 occupies one High-Speed PCI card slot. It requires OS/400 V4R1 or later. It is
supported on the 9406 Models 170 and 720, and the #5065 Storage/PCI Expansion
Tower/#5066 1.8 I/O Tower. A maximum of one #2729 can be installed in the system unit and
two #2729s in the #5064/#9364 System Unit Expansion with #9329/#9330 Expansion Unit for
PCI cards. Up to three #2729s can be installed in #5065 Storage/PCI Expansion Tower.
