Peripheral Expansion
The VXIpc-850 uses the PCI local bus for peripheral expansion. The
PCIbus is a 32-bit multimaster bus that achieves a top throughput of
132 MB/s and can handle numerous peripherals. The integrated PCI
local bus design of the VXIpc -850 gives you access to the following
peripherals:
•
PCMCIA
•
SCSI-2
•
Super VGA
•
Enhanced IDE for the hard drive
For information on installing and configuring these peripherals for use
with the VXIpc-850, refer to Chapter 5, Peripherals. You can also refer
to the VXIpc -850 Peripherals User Manual, which contains full
documentation for the video, PCMCIA, and SCSI peripherals.
