LSI21003 PCI to Dual Channel SCSI Host Adapter 1-1
Chapter 1
Using the LSI21003
This chapter provides an overview of the LSI Logic LSI21003 PCI to Dual
Channel SCSI Host Adapter board and its interfaces to PCI computer
systems. These topics are discussed:
• Section 1.1, “General Description,” page 1-1
• Section 1.2, “Features,” page 1-2
• Section 1.3, “Interface Descriptions,” page 1-3
1.1 General Description
The LSI21003 provides internal and external SCSI interfaces to PCI
computer systems that require BIOS support on the add-in SCSI adapter.
Installing this host adapter in your PCI system allows connection of SCSI
devices over a SCSI bus.
The LSI21003 provides 16-bit Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and
Single-Ended (SE) SCSI solutions for your computer. It supports legacy
Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, and the newest Ultra160 SCSI devices. Channel A
supports only the SE mode. Channel B supports SE and LVD modes of
operation.
The Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates
the board. The design of the board does not prevent other software from
being used with it.
This guide, along with the PCI Storage Device Management System
SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide, contains product information and installation
instructions to help you gain the full benefits of the LSI21003.
