Two of the Multipacks are 6 bay and one is the 12 bay.  The drives that 
I have to install in them are all low voltage which is why I need the 
low voltage card to run them (I've got 18 146GB LVD SCA drives waiting 
to go in them).

I've seen that card but I can never seem to find any documentation that 
would tell me if it was a low voltage or a high voltage card.
