The Super I/O complies with Microsoft PC97 Hardware Design Guide.
IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resources are flexible to adjust to meet ISA PnP
requirement. Moreover, it meets the specification of PC97's requirement in
the power management: ACPI and DPM (Device Power Management).
1-9 AIC -7895 MultiChannel
TM
single-chip UltraSCSI
SUPER P6DGS has an on-board SCSI controller which is 100% compatible
with all major operating and hardware platforms. PCI 2.1 and SCAM Level
1 compliance are assured. Two independent UltraSCSI channels provide a
per channel data transfer rate of 40 MB/s. Connectors include two 68-pin
16-bit Ultra Wide SCSI connectors (JA1/JA2) and a 50-pin 8-bit Ultra SCSI
connector (JA3). You can connect up to 15 devices (seven 8-bit internal
and eight 16-bit internal or external SCSI devices, or 15 Wide internal and
external SCSI devices).
When Fast SCSI devices are connected, the total length of all cables (inter-
nal and external) must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft) to ensure reliable opera-
tion. If no Fast SCSI devices are connected, the total length of all cables
must not exceed 6 meters (19.7 ft).
AIC-7895 consolidates the functions of two SCSI chips, eliminating the need
for a PCI bridge. Reducing PCI bus loading enables system capabilities to be
expanded with additional PCI devices.
The AIC-7895 functions with Adaptec RAIDport II (ARO-1130SA/1130CA)
to deliver RAID functionality.
1-10 AIC -7890 Ultra II SCSI
Note: If you are using a low voltage differential Hard Drive, it is recommended you use LVD/SE Ultra
II SCSI cable. LVD/SE cable offers increased length, and can accommodate more devices.
SUPER P6DGU/P6SGU has an on-board SCSI controller which is 100% com-
patible with all major operating and hardware platforms. The AIC-7890
controller provides advanced PCI-to-SCSI Ultra2 SCSI host adapter features
in a 272-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package, as well as containing an inte-
grated dual mode (LVD/SE) transceiver. The AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI chip
connects to a 32-bit PCI bus. It is PCI 2.1 compliant, and fully supports the
power management requirements specified in Microsoft's PC 97 guidelines
