SCSI subsystem
The dual-channel AIC-7899 single-chip host adapter delivers Ultra 160/m SCSI data transfer rates which double the Ultra-2 SCSI data transfer rate of up to 160 MByte/s. With two channels, it delivers a total of 320 MByte/s bandwidth. In addition, the AIC-7899 features a 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI interface that supports zero wait-state memory which also operates on 33 MHz, 32-bit PCI buses. It supports up to 15 devices on a 12-meter cable (or 25 meters in a point-to-point configuration), making it ideal for both clustering and RAID configurations.
LAN subsystem
Another cost-effective feature for network solution is the integration of four Intel 82550 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controllers. With its sophisticated 32-bit PCI component and enhanced scatter-gather bus mastering capabilities, it enables high-level command processing and multiple operations which lowers CPU utilization. It also offers several new features including:
•IPSec integration
•Host side cardbus interface
•Enhanced power management
•Optimized support for flash devices and modem combination interface
•Auto-Negotiation capability
