Bus Segments on the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host
Adapter
The HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter features technology that ensures you get the
best performance from your Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices by electronically
isolating the primary LVD/SE segment from the secondary SE segment on the SCSI
bus. This allows the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter to support newer Ultra3 and
Ultra2 SCSI devices at speeds up to 160 MBytes/sec on the primary LVD/SE
segment while at the same time supporting Ultra (legacy) devices at speeds up to 40
MBytes/sec on the secondary SE segment. The following figure shows the two SCSI
segments.
