It has a LSI53C1020A A1 down on the hba, which is a single channel. This hba has a PCI express to pcix bridge, as the 1020A is still PCI X. This will work with any peripheral device, such as disks devices. Probably HP claim to tape is because that is what they certified it with. I have it in a HP ML350, and it works like a champ. You might want to find out from HP which systems it works will, b'cuase I found on some other non HP systems it didn't.
