1-10 AIC-7896 Ultra2 Dual Channel SCSI Controller
(S2DG2)
The SUPER S2DG2 has an onboard Adaptec SCSI controller that is 100% com-
patible with all major operating and hardware platforms. PCI 2.1 compliance is
assured.
The AIC-7896 Ultra2 SCSI chip connects to a 32-bit PCI bus. Two independent
Ultra2 LVD SCSI channels provide a per channel data transfer rate of 80 MB/s.
Connectors on the S2DG2 include two 68-pin 16-bit Ultra2 SCSI connectors (JA1
and JA2) and one 50-pin 8-bit SCSI connector (JA3). The controller allows you
to connect a total of 30 SCSI devices (15 for each channel), with a maximum of
7 devices on the 50-pin SCSI connector.
The AIC-7896 consolidates the functions of two SCSI chips to eliminate the need
of a PCI bridge. Reducing PCI bus loading enables system capabilities to be
expanded with additional PCI devices. The AIC-7896 functions with Adaptec
RAIDport III (ARO-1130C) to deliver dual channel RAID functionality.
The AIC-7896 SCSI host adapter meets the highest performance requirements of
today. It can deliver Ultra2 SCSI data transfer rates of up to 80 Mbytes/sec per
channel, for a total throughput of 160 Mbytes/sec. It was designed to meet the
needs of bandwidth-hungry applications, such as high-level simulations, real-time
video and data mining.
