6.1 Introduction
The PCM-9570/S is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C895 single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra2 multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI connector through the Symbios SYM53C895.
The SYMBIOS 53C895 is a 16-bit, LVD/SE (Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended) SCSI solution for your computer. It can support both legacy Fast SCSI and Ultra SCSI devices, as well as the newest LVD Ultra2 SCSI devices.
If you need to configure the SCSI, the on-board SCSI Select configuration utility allows you to change host adapter settings without opening the computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select utility also contains a utility to low-level format and verifies the disk media on your hard disk drives.
Note: | If any peripheral is attached to the Ultra2 SCSI |
| segment and is running at SE mode, one or more |
| Ultra/Ultra Wide peripherals will be attached to the |
| Ultra2 SCSI segment and will cause the Ultra2 SCSI |
| segment to run at speeds up to 40 MBytes/sec |
| instead of 80 MBytes/sec. |
