SCSI Controller

The system board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC7899 dual function SCSI controller. The AIC7899 provides Ultra-160/M and Wide Ultra2 SCSI interfaces as two independent PCI functions. As implemented on the system board, interface A attaches to an Ultra-160/M SCSI backplane that supports up to six Ultra-160/M SCA drives. Controller B, the Wide Ultra 2 SCSI interface, may be used to support SCSI devices in the removable media bays.

Video Controller

The system has an integrated ATI Rage IIC 64 bit high-performance SVGA subsystem that supports the following:

!BIOS compatibility with VGA, EGA, CGA, Hercules Graphics, and MDA

!4 MB of 10 ns onboard Synchronous Graphics Memory (SGRAM)

!Pixel resolutions up to 1280 X 1024

!Analog VGA monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced and noninterlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace noninterlaced frequency of 100 Hz.

Peripheral Controller

The advanced integrated peripheral controller supports two serial ports, two universal serial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse, and integrated Real Time Clock (RTC). The system provides the connector interface for each port.

Serial Ports

Both serial ports are relocatable. Each serial port can be set to one of four different addresses and can be enabled separately. When disabled, serial port interrupts are available to add-in boards.

Parallel Port

One IEEE 1284-compatible 25-pin bidirectional EPP (supporting levels 1.7 and 1.9) parallel port is provided. BIOS programming enables the parallel port and determines the port address and interrupt. ECP mode is supported with 2 possible DMA channels. When disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in boards.

External Device Connectors

The external I/O connectors provide support for a PS/2 compatible mouse and a keyboard, for a SVGA monitor, 2 serial port connectors, a parallel port connector, LAN port, and two USB connections for devices other than keyboard or mouse.
