Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows connection of SCSI devices over a SCSI bus. The dual channel PCI-SC896 board provides 16-bit Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single-Ended (SE) SCSI solutions for your computer, using only one PCI slot. This board supports legacy Fast SCSI devices, Ultra SCSI devices, and the newest Ultra2 SCSI devices. ASUS SCSI Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates the board, but the design of the board does not prevent other software to be used with it. BIOS support for this host adapter is incorporated on the board in a 128K Flash device. This guide and the PCI SCSI Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User's Guide contain product information and installation instructions to help you gain the full benefits of your PCI-SC896 Dual Channel PCI to Ultra2 SCSI host adapter for your computer system.
