Introduction
1
Combined with a 32-bit/33-MHz PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) interface into local CPU memory, the adapters
provide a total wide and fast pathway for data, which is especially
important for servers, image processing, high-speed networks, and
other high performance peripherals. They are designed to operate
within the framework of todayÕs open systems architectures by
providing physical and data-link services as defined by the ANSI
X3.131 specifications for SCSI-2.
Product Features
The PCI and PMC Adapters are available with the following
capabilities:
❏
Compliant with PCI Local Bus, version 2.1
❏
32-bit, zero wait state PCI DMA master
❏
Up to 132 Mbps burst DMA rate
❏
20 Mbps Fast and Wide SCSI-2
❏
Differential or Single-ended SCSI-2 interfaces
❏
Support for up to 30 devices from a single slot
❏
64K EPROM for Network Boot or BIOS Firmware
The PCI and PMC Adapters are plug-and-play devices with
systems that are compliant with the PCI Local Bus Revision 2.1
specification. Systems that are not compliant may require manual
configuration via a PCI Device Configuration menu in the BIOS.
