Introduction1

The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card can only be installed on a motherboard with an ASUS proprietary expansion slot. See 2.3 Installing the ASUS LAN/SCSI card for location of this slot.

The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices— such as very large arrays of high-performance HDDs, external storage subsystems, clustered configurations, Ultra160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives. There is also an optional integrated 3Com 3C920 Fast Ethernet controller for connecting your PC to a network.

Ultra160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that increases SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/sec. In addition to providing much greater performance, Ultra160 SCSI enables a maximum allowable cable length of 12 meters for optimal connectivity and flexibility.1
