IBM 5736 PCI-X Disk/Tape SCSI Controller with zero write cache and without RAID support. Disk mirroring support is supported through i5/OS. A maximum of six disk drives are supported on the #5736.

Each SCSI bus can be either internal (using an internal port) or external (using an external port), but not both. There are four physical ports on the #5736, two internal and two external. Internal devices connect to the internal ports (1 or 2). External devices connect to the external ports (1 or 2) and use an LVD (Low Voltage Differential) interface and VHDCI connectors. A #1850 VHDCI to P Converter Cable is available to connect to external devices with type P connectors. #0647, #5736, #5766 and #5775 are physically the same adapter card but have different feature numbers to indicate to IBM configurator tools that an IOP is or is not being used in the configuration. #5736 should be the choice over #5702/#5712 or #5705/#5715 controllers for systems running V5R3, or later. Attributes provided: Two U320 SCSI VHDCI ports which may be either internal Attributes required: One available 3.3 volt PCI or PCI-X slot.
