PERC 3/QC Features 79
PCI Bridge/CPU
PERC 3/QC uses the Intel i960RN PCI bridge with an embedded i960RN
RISC processor running at 100 MHz. The RN bridge handles data transfers
between the primary (host) PCI bus, the secondary PCI bus, cache memory,
and the SCSI bus. The DMA controller supports chaining and unaligned
data transfers. The embedded i960JN CPU directs all controller functions,
including command processing, SCSI bus transfers, RAID processing, drive
rebuilding, cache management, and error recovery.
Cache Memory
128 MB of PERC 3/QC cache memory resides in a memory bank that uses a
64 MB or 128 MB SDRAM DIMM. PERC 3/QC supports write-through or
write-back caching, selectable for each logical drive. To improve
performance in sequential disk accesses, the PERC 3/QC controller uses
read-ahead caching by default. You can disable read-ahead caching.

pin external connectors for 160M and Wide
SCSI.
