#2729 is a SCSI controller. It provides a hardware data compress-decompress
 function for
these devices. Hardware Data Compression (HDC) can increase the effective
media capacity
by up to two times.
#2729 occupies one High-Speed PCI card slot. It requires OS/400 Version 4
Release 1 or
later. It is supported on the 9406 Models 170 and 720 only. A maximum of
one #2729 can be
installed in the system unit and two #2729s in the System Unit Expansion
#5064/#9364 with
Expansion Unit for PCI cards #9329.
#2809 PCI LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP is a prerequisite for the #2729.
OS/400 Version 4 Release 2 or later is required for #2729 to support the
3995 Optical Library
Dataserver.
