1. INTRODUCTION

With the dual channel onboard Ultra2/3 SCSI connectors, you can connect up to 30 SCSI

peripherals, such as hard disk drives, scanners, CD-ROM drives, and tape drives. This guide

provides instructions for

Connecting SCSI peripherals

Installing the Symbios 53C896 or 53C1010 software

The motherboard has two independent Ultra2/3 LVD SCSI channels and each has a
maximum throughput of 80MB/sec or 160MB/sec respectively..

Support for Non-Ultra2/3 SCSI Devices

The LVD signaling used for Ultra2/3 devices operates differently than single-ended

signaling used on Ultra, Fast, and Fast Wide SCSI devices. Ultra2/3 SCSI devices are

designed with multimode capability so that if a single-ended device is connected to the LVD

Ultra2 SCSI bus, the Ultra2/3 devices automatically switch to single-ended mode. When an

Ultra2/3 SCSI device operates in single-ended mode it is subject to the cable distance
limitations and signal noise problems of that interface.
