Hardware Components PCI Cards Figure 5-1 SCSI Adapter Cards Adaptec 29160 SCSI PCI Adapter Card.. Your workstation has an Ultra 160/m SCSI card. The Adaptec SCSI card has a system bus rate of 533MB/sec, a SCSI data transfer rate of 160MB/sec, and the capability to support as many as 15 peripheral devices. The Adaptec SCSI card can 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). Examples of SE devices include DAT drives, scanners, and older hard disk drives. Adaptec SCSI Card Connector 2 Connector 3 Connector 4 Connector 1 The following is a description of connectors 1 through 4. • 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 Although SE SCSI devices work when you attach them to connector 1 or 2, it limits all devices to SE mode. For example, this limitation would result in the Ultra 160/m hard disk drive performance being limited from 160MB/sec to 40MB/sec. Therefore, you should connect only LVD SCSI devices to connectors 1 and 2. 102 Chapter 5
