Adaptec 29160 SCSI PCI Adapter Card

Your Personal Workstation is equipped with an Ultra 160/m SCSI card. The Adaptec® SCSI card has a system bus rate of 533 MB/Sec, a SCSI data transfer rate of 160 MB/Sec and the capability of supporting up to 15 peripheral devices.

The Adaptec SCSI card is able to connect to Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI devices (for example, Ultra2 and Ultra 160/m) and Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices (for example, Ultra SCSI, Fast SCSI, SCSI-1, etc.). Examples of single ended devices include: DAT drives, Scanners, and older hard disk drives.

Connector 2

Connector 3

Connector 4

Connector 1

Here is a description of connectors one through four.

Connector 1 68-pin external connector for LVD SCSI devices

Connector 2 68-pin internal connector for LVD SCSI devices

Connector 3 68-pin internal connector for Wide SE SCSI devices

Connector 4 50-pin internal connector for Narrow SE SCSI devices

While SE SCSI devices will work when attached to connector 1 or 2, this will limit all devices to single-ended mode. For example, this would result in the Ultra 160/m hard disk drive performance being limited from 160 MB/second to 40 MB/second. Therefore, it is recommended that you connect only LVD
